Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the long-term effectiveness of different surgical methods for patients with insulinomas related to Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), analyzing data from surgeries performed between 1957 and 2010.
- - Out of 73 patients analyzed, distal pancreatectomy (DP) was found to have the lowest risk of recurrent hypoglycemia compared to total pancreatectomy/cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (TP/CDP) and enucleation (E).
- - Although E showed no long-term complications, DP was prioritized due to its lower recurrence rate of hypoglycemia, suggesting it as the best surgical option for these patients.
Objective: To analyze, at a population level, the relation between the incidences of benign thyroid diseases in patients submitted to surgery and that of thyroid cancers based on their respective geographical distributions.
Methods: The study included 3169 cases (691 cancers and 2478 benign diseases) operated on in 2002 in the Rhône-Alpes région, which is subdivided into eight départements and 311 cantons.
Results: The total thyroid intervention rate was 54.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine recent trends in thyroid cancer incidence rates and to analyze histopathological characteristics and geographical distribution.
Methods: Histologically proven 5367 cases were collected over the period 1998-2006 in France from the Rhône-Alpes thyroid cancer registry. Geographical variations of incidence were analyzed using a mixed Poisson model.
Background: The calcitonin is a sensitive marker for the presence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, therefore, invaluable in the follow-up of patients who have been treated. Biological cure of the medullary thyroid cancer refers to a basal plasma calcitonin of less than 10 ng/l without elevation after stimulation tests.
Study Design: Biochemical results of reoperations for medullary thyroid carcinoma were reviewed from a series of 35 patients who underwent 47 reinterventions.
Distant metastases (DM) are rare in well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas and correlate with a poor survival. Among the histologic subtypes, insular carcinoma has an intermediate prognosis that lies between well and undifferentiated carcinomas. To assess the characteristics that could predict a worse prognosis, we reviewed the initial thyroid cancer slides from patients with DM.
