Comparison of thyroid surgery techniques: a retrospective cohort study and meta-analysis of traditional electric knife straight bipolar electrocoagulation forceps.

Background: In recent years, advancements in surgical techniques for thyroidectomy have led to varying outcomes and efficiencies. Understanding these differences is crucial to optimize patient care and surgical success. This study compared intra- and postoperative parameters of thyroid surgery for thyroidectomy or thyroid cancer.

Photothermolysis Mediated by Gold Nanorods Conjugated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Monoclonal Antibody Induces Apoptosis via the Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Cancer.

Gold nanorods (AuNRs) have unique optical properties and biological affinity and can be used to treat tumors when conjugated with other protein molecules. Our previous studies have shown that EGFR monoclonal antibody (EGFRmAb)-modified AuNRs exert strong antitumor activity by inducing apoptosis. In this study, we tested the effects of EGFRmAb-modified AuNRs on laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) and .

Optimization of endothelial growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody-gold nanorods photothermal therapy for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

It reported that heat generated by near-infrared laser irradiation of gold nanorods (AuNRs) effectively inhibited tumor cells, and the conjugate of epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody (EGFRmAb) and gold nanorods could selectively binded to the surface of cancer cell membrane expressing EGFR. However, there are few research reports on EGFRmAb-AuNRs in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the photothermal effect of EGFRmAb modified AuNRs in inducing tumor cell death in an animal model of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
