The epidemiology, etiology, pathology, and management of thyroid and parathyroid carcinoma are discussed. Emphasis is placed on the clinical differences in the management and treatment of the various histologic subtypes of thyroid cancer. The biologic and prognostic differences among the various histologic types of thyroid cancer and their relationship to age are stressed.

The use of transaxillary and transsubclavian approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy has increased globally. However, studies examining the comparative outcomes of these procedures are scarce. In this study, we aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of thyroidectomy between the gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy transaxillary approach (GETTA) and gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy transsubclavian approach (GETTSA) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).

Article Synopsis
- Thalassemia, particularly beta-thalassemia major, is a hereditary anemia marked by insufficient beta-globin chain production, leading to iron overload from frequent blood transfusions, with significant health complications like endocrinopathies.
- The study focused on children aged 6 months to 14 years, examining growth and endocrine function in relation to serum ferritin levels, which indicate iron overload.
- Results revealed a high prevalence of endocrinopathy, with short stature being the most commonly observed issue, particularly among boys and younger children.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by tumors in multiple endocrine glands, but some patients may lack the genetic markers typically associated with the condition.
- A 56-year-old woman with a history of a macroprolactinoma, primary hyperparathyroidism, and a cortisol-producing adrenal adenoma was diagnosed with MEN1 despite being genotype-negative, raising concerns about the reliability of genetic testing.
- The case highlights that genotype-negative MEN1 can involve serious complications and emphasizes the importance of recognizing clinical symptoms like glucose intolerance and tumor manifestations to avoid delayed diagnoses.
