Incidence of PSMA PET thyroid incidentaloma depends on analysis method and tracer.

Objective: To investigate the incidences of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) thyroid incidentaloma (PTI) using different methods to define PTI, to compare the incidence of PTI among different PSMA PET tracers, and to evaluate the clinical consequences of PTI.

Methods: PSMA PET/CT scans in consecutive patients with primary prostate cancer were analyzed for the presence of PTI using a structured visual (SV) analysis reporting any elevated thyroidal uptake; a semi-quantitative (SQ) analysis using a SUVmax thyroid/bloodpool (t/b) ratio ≥ 2.0 as cutoff; and an analysis of PTI incidence in the clinical reports (RV analysis).

The co-occurrence of both breast- and differentiated thyroid cancer: incidence, association and clinical implications for daily practice.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) and differentiated thyroid cancer (TC) are two common cancer types with the highest incidence in women. BC and TC can develop synchronous or metachronous and the occurrence of both is higher than expected by chance. This study aimed to examine the association between BC and TC in the Netherlands.

Retrospective analysis of PSMA PET/CT thyroid incidental uptake in adults: incidence, diagnosis, and treatment/outcome in a tertiary cancer referral center and University Medical Center.

Purpose: A prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) thyroid incidentaloma (PTI) is an unexpected, PSMA-avid thyroid lesion, newly detected during the investigation of an unrelated condition using PSMA PET/CT. The aim of this study is to examine the incidence and clinical significance of PTI and the associated management strategies since the implementation of the PSMA PET/CT scan.

Methods: This study involves a retrospective cohort study of 61 PTI cases depicted on PSMA PET/CT scans performed between January 2016 and July 2021, almost exclusively for (re)staging prostate cancer.

The Effect of Radioactive Iodine Therapy on Ovarian Function and Fertility in Female Thyroid Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common carcinomas diagnosed in adolescents and young adults, with a rapidly rising incidence for the past three decades. Surgery is the standard treatment for patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), and when indicated, followed by radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects of RAI therapy on ovarian function and fertility in women.
