Context: Ethanol ablation (EA) is considered an alternative to surgery for metastatic lymph nodes from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in selected patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of this treatment.
Design And Setting: Adult patients with PTC who had received EA in lymph node metastasis at a tertiary referral center, and were included in a published study from 2011, were invited to participate in this follow-up study.
Background: Subacute thyroiditis is a clinical condition usually seen 1-2 weeks after a viral infection in the upper respiratory tract, and has also been reported following infection with COVID-19. Cases of subacute thyroiditis following a seasonal influenza vaccination have been described, and recent case reports have reported clinical symptoms and signs typical of subacute thyroiditis following vaccination with mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
Case Presentation: A young, healthy female underwent surgery with left-side lobectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Background/aim: This study aimed to examine survival and surgical complications in patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) after multimodal treatment.
Patients And Methods: Since 2002, the recommended treatment strategy for ATC at our centre has been hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy (HART) with high doses to the neck (64 Gy), combined with weekly doxorubicin, and surgery after 4-8 weeks, if feasible.
Results: Between 2002 and 2014, 14 patients completed HART and thyroid surgery.
Thyroid nodules are common. As a result of increased use of diagnostic imaging, more nodules are detected as incidental findings. The great majority of them are benign and need no treatment.
