Objective: Transoral scarless thyroid surgery has proven to be a popular alternative to traditional approaches. Transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) has been reported using ports on the lower lip and axilla. Avoiding axillary incision can further reduce scars on the armpit.

- The study examined how the Twist gene influences epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is crucial for tumor invasion and metastasis.
- Researchers performed gene transfections in colon cancer cell lines and assessed changes in related proteins and migration abilities through various assays.
- Results showed that increased Twist expression led to higher levels of vimentin and lower levels of E-cadherin, promoting cell migration and invasion, while inhibiting Twist reduced these effects.
