Article Synopsis
- Familial non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is a type of thyroid cancer that affects multiple family members, and this study compared it to non-family cases (sporadic carcinoma or SC).
- They looked at 927 patients from 1990 to 2018 and found that FNMTC usually had smaller tumors and more cases that were in more than one place (multifocality) than SC.
- Overall, FNMTC and SC were similar in terms of how they progressed and the outcomes for the patients, even though FNMTC showed some different characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- Familial non-medullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is when two or more close family members have thyroid cancer, and this study looks at how it compares to regular thyroid cancer (sporadic carcinoma or SC).
- Researchers studied 927 patients from 1990 to 2018 and found that FNMTC had smaller tumors and more cases where multiple tumors showed up in the same patient, but they had similar outcomes in terms of survival and recurrence as SC.
- The study concludes that even though FNMTC tumors are smaller and more spread out in some cases, they don’t seem to be more aggressive or have a worse prognosis than sporadic thyroid cancer.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of carbohydrate changes in patients diagnosed with acromegaly, and to evaluate what happens two years after treatment. It was also intended to assess which factors are associated to the occurrence of such changes.
Material And Methods: Sixty-six patients diagnosed with acromegaly at our center were enrolled and divided into groups with normal glucose metabolism, prediabetes, and diabetes.
