Background: When papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is accompanied by Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), it is often challenging for preoperative ultrasound to distinguish between central lymph node enlargement caused by PTC metastasis and inflammatory reaction due to HT. However, central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) is closely associated with the risk of PTC recurrence after surgery. In this study, we developed a model to predict in patients with PTC combined with HT, based on conventional ultrasound characteristics and shear wave elastography (SWE) quantitative parameters of the primary lesion.

Purpose: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy. Although its mortality rate is low, some patients experience cancer recurrence during follow-up. In this study, we investigated the accuracy of a novel multimodal model by simultaneously analyzing numeric and time-series data to predict recurrence in patients with PTC after thyroidectomy.

Background: Observational studies have shown that hypothyroidism is strongly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, and that thyroxine during pregnancy comes mainly from the mother; therefore, thyroid defects in women may lead to problems such as miscarriage due to hormonal instability in early pregnancy, and foetal neurological deficits in mid- to late gestation, but whether there is a genetic causality between the two is still a matter of some controversy.
Objective: Goal to investigate the possible causal association between hypothyroidism and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes through the use of bioinformatics and Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: We used Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites as instrumental variables to infer causal associations between exposures and outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and effectiveness of active surveillance (AS) in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and compare them to those of immediate surgery (IS).
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis, including 14 comparative studies and 7 noncomparative studies, was conducted, encompassing a total of 9,397 patients.
Results: AS was associated with lower rates of familial history of thyroid cancer, multiplicity, and overall mortality compared to IS.

Managing thyroid nodules diagnosed cytologically as follicular neoplasms (FN) is challenging for patients and clinicians. Gene panel testing was recently introduced to determine the management strategy for FN; however, it is unavailable in Japan. In this study, we assessed FN management.
