Objective: To explore a novel non-invasive method in detection of thyroid cancer by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

Methods: Surface FTIR spectra of 15 cases of thyroid cancer and 51 cases of normal subjects were collected. 22 variables of 11 bands including peak positions and relative intensities were measured and all data were statistically analyzed.

Results: In the cancer group: (1) the peak position of 1743 cm(-1) was shifted toward higher wave number (P < 0.05), and that of 1250 cm(-1) to the lower (P < 0.05), when compared to those of normal ones. (2) The relative intensity ratios of I(1546)/I(1460), I(1250)/I(1460), I(1120)/I(1460), I(1080)/I(1460) were significantly increased (P < 0.05). (3) The presence rate of band of 1340 cm(-1) was significantly decreased (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: FTIR surface spectra may become a novel powerful non-invasive approach of detecting thyroid cancer in regular routine check-up.

Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women globally, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) being particularly aggressive. Delphinidin (Dp), an anthocyanin monomer, has shown promising health benefits.

Objective: This study investigates the effects of Dp on TNBC and aims to elucidate its specific mechanisms of action.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment modality used as an alternative to surgery in patients with benign thyroid nodules, recurrent thyroid cancers (RTCs), and primary thyroid microcarcinomas. The Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology (KSThR) initially developed recommendations for the optimal use of RFA for thyroid tumors in 2009 and revised them in 2012 and 2017. As new meaningful evidence has accumulated since 2017 and in response to a growing global interest in the use of RFA for treating malignant thyroid lesions, the task force committee members of the KSThR decided to update the guidelines on the use of RFA for the management of RTCs based on a comprehensive analysis of current literature and expert consensus.

Study on the Transformation Process of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Liquid-Based Cytology to Whole-Slide Image.

Cytopathology

January 2025

National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital & Shenzhen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Shenzhen, China.

Objective: Analyse and summarise the reasons for failure in the digital acquisition of thyroid liquid-based cytology (LBC) slides and the technical challenges, and explore methods to obtain reliable and reproducible whole digital slide images for clinical thyroid cytology.

Method: Use the glass slide scanning imaging system to acquire whole-slide image (WSI) of thyroid LBC in sdpc format through different. Statistical analysis was conducted on the different acquisition methods, the quality of the glass slides, clinical and pathological characteristics of the case, TBSRTC grading and the quality of WSI.

A 64-year-old woman underwent initial 18F-FDG PET/CT staging for a suspicious endometrial mass, which showed high uptake in the endometrial mass and a focal uptake in a known left thyroid nodule. Histology revealed a high-grade large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage Ib. Further explorations revealed a synchronous thyroid metastasis.
