Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from 65,559 participants across 25 cohorts, focusing on risk factors like maternal age, BMI, and antibody positivity while excluding those with pre-existing thyroid issues.
- * Results indicated a screening rate of 58% among high-risk cohorts, with minimal variation in risk for hypothyroidism based on age and BMI, and TPOAb/TgAb positivity significantly correlated with higher risks for overt and subclinical hypothyroidism.
Purpose: Despite its rich vascularity, metastasis (MTS) to the thyroid tissue is unusual, ranging from 1 to 3%. This entity is not usually considered as differential diagnosis and is not included in the upfront approach in patients with thyroid nodules. Once diagnosed, treatment is controversial.
