Article Synopsis
- Thyroid nodules are commonly benign growths that occur more in women and those with iodine deficiency or prior radiation exposure.
- Treatment for these nodules includes medications, surgery, and thermal ablation (TA), a method using heat to destroy tissue.
- This study investigates changes in tissue from thyroid nodules treated with TA and aims to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules using advanced techniques like immunohistochemistry.
The Simultaneous Use of Bladder Epicheck and Urinary Cytology Can Improve the Sensitivity and Specificity of Diagnostic Follow-Up of Urothelial Lesions: Up-to-Date Data from a Multi-Institutional Cohort.

Bladder cancer is a prevalent urinary system malignancy and urinary cytology is widely used for its screening and follow-up. A novel diagnostic tool called Bladder Epicheck (BE) is increasingly being used for monitoring the recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The simultaneous use of BE and urinary cytology can increase the diagnostic performances in the follow-up of bladder neoplasms.

However, despite the presence of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), melanoma cells use strategies to suppress antitumor immunity and avoid being eliminated by immune surveillance. The PD-1 (programmed death-1)/PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) axis is a well-known immune escape system adopted by neoplastic cells.
