Article Synopsis
- Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) is a rare type of thyroid cancer that is traditionally seen as a variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and this study compares the clinical factors and outcomes between the two.
- The research involved 230 patients over an average follow-up of 13.4 years, revealing that HCC patients were older and had more advanced cancer stages, along with a higher occurrence of recurrence and metastases.
- Despite these differences, when controlling for factors like age, tumor size, and histological subtype, the rates of disease-free survival were found to be similar between HCC and FTC patients.
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type II (APS-II) is the most common immunoendocrinopathy syndrome. APS-II is defined by the development of two or more of the following entities: primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease), Graves' disease, type 1A diabetes mellitus, autoimmune thyroiditis, primary hypogonadism, celiac disease, and myasthenia gravis. Other frequent clinical findings are vitiligo, alopecia, pernicious anemia and/or serositis.
