Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed characteristics, survival rates, and prognostic factors in 133 patients with bone metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinoma over a follow-up period of 40 months.
  • It found that the survival rates were 53.5% at 3 years, 39.5% at 5 years, and 28.5% at 10 years, with significant factors affecting survival including age, lymph node metastases, and treatment with I131.
  • The research highlighted that patients treated with I131 had better outcomes, while older age and lymph node involvement were linked to increased mortality.

Introduction: The presence of lymph nodes metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) modifies the type of surgical resection as well as the indication of the treatment with I in the postoperative period. This therapeutic approach is based on the results of the diagnostic tests, like the cervical ultrasonography. Currently other methods of diagnostic are tested as selective sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

Introduction: The BRAF V600E mutation is the most common genetic change in papillary thyroid carcinoma and is associated with a poorer clinical course. Usual methods for its study (DNA sequencing or molecular test based on PCR) are expensive and time-consuming. Recently, immunohistochemistry (IHC) for BRAF mutation has been introduced.

Thyroid nodule detection has increased with widespread use of ultrasound, which is currently the main tool for detection, monitoring, diagnosis and, in some instances, treatment of thyroid nodules. Knowledge of ultrasound and adequate instruction on its use require a position statement by the scientific societies concerned. The working groups on thyroid cancer and ultrasound techniques of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition have promoted this document, based on a thorough analysis of the current literature, the results of multicenter studies and expert consensus, in order to set the requirements for the best use of ultrasound in clinical practice.
