Frequency of thyroid gland functional disturbances after introduction of iodine-containing radiographic contrast agents during coronary angiography was studied in 146 patients, residents of the zone of borderline iodine deficit. Frequency of thyroid pathology was high at baseline (39%). Functional state of the thyroid gland was assessed before and 1, 3, 6, 12 months after investigation. During first month after coronary angiography there were several new cases of thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism, as well as deterioration of preexisting functional disturbances of the thyroid. Patients with baseline pathology and functional disturbances of thyroid gland before conduction of coronary angiography should be included into risk group of development of iodine induced states.

Background: Radioactive iodine (RAI) is a common treatment for various thyroid diseases. Previous studies have suggested susceptibility of parathyroid glands to the mutagenic effect of RAI and the development of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We tested the possible link between prior RAI treatment, disease presentation, and treatment outcomes.

Purpose: The thyroid gland is one of the most vital endocrine organs. It is responsible for the synthesis and secretion of hormones principally triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play a significant role in the functions and the metabolism of the body.

Background: Hypothyroidism is a common sequela after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has gained prominence in thyroid imaging, leveraging its non-ionizing radiation, high spatial resolution, multiparameter and multidirectional imaging. Few previous studies have investigated the evaluation of radiation-induced thyroid injury by MRI.

Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive thyroid gland malignancy. Several consensuses support the concept of multimodal therapy that combines surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. However, patient's comorbidity, poor performance status, and metastasis often make it impossible for patients to undergo multimodal therapy.

The Trend in Age-Adjusted Incidence of Head and Neck Cancer in South Korea over the Past 20 Years.

Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Konkuk University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.

Objectives: We aimed to calculate the age-adjusted incidence rate of head and neck cancer (HNC) in South Korea from 1999 to 2020 and investigate the incidence trend of HNC excluding the effect of population aging.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Cancer Registration Statistics Program. All 12 types of HNCs were analyzed.
