MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) is an autosomal recessive disease, which predisposes to polyposis and colorectal cancer. There is a trend towards an increased risk of breast cancer in MAP patients, with a remarkable proportion of papillary breast cancers. To determine whether MUTYH mutations are associated with this specific and rare type of breast cancer, 53 unselected patients with papillary breast cancer were analyzed for founder mutations in the MUTYH gene. No germline mutations were identified, indicating that biallelic MUTYH mutations are not a frequent underlying cause for the development of papillary carcinomas of the breast.

Single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomic analysis reveal a distinct population of APOE cells yielding pathological lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer.

Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine tumors worldwide, especially among women and the metastatic mechanism of papillary thyroid carcinoma remains poorly understood.
Methods: Thyroid cancer tissue samples were obtained for single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, aiming to intratumoral and antimetastatic heterogeneity of advanced PTC. The functions of APOE in PTC cell proliferation and invasion were confirmed through in vivo and in vitro assays.
Hyalinizing trabecular tumor of the thyroid: A case report.

A hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT), characterized by a trabecular growth pattern and notable hyalinization within the trabeculae, occurs at a rate of ~1%. As patients with HTT may be asymptomatic, accurate diagnosis is a challenge. Due to its resemblance to other tumors, such as papillary thyroid carcinoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma, a precise diagnosis necessitates both pathological and molecular examinations.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) for treating cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Methods: Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies on the efficacy and safety of thermal ablations for treating CLNM from PTC until July 2024. Among 544 papers, 11 articles were reviewed involving 233 patients and 432 CLNM cases.
Assessing Malignant Risk in B3 Breast Lesions: Clinical Insights and Implications.

: B3 breast lesions, characterized by uncertain malignant potential, pose a significant challenge for clinicians. With the increasing use of preoperative biopsies, there is a need for careful management strategies, including watchful waiting, vacuum-assisted excision (VAE), and surgery. This study aims to assess the concordance between preoperative biopsy findings and postoperative histology, with a focus on evaluating the positive predictive value (PPV) for malignancy in B3 lesions.

Background: Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer, with an etiology and progression that are not fully understood. Research suggests a link between cathepsins and PTC, but the causal nature of this link is unclear. This study uses Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate if cathepsins causally influence PTC risk.
