Published: September 2017

A 46-year-old woman with a history of papillary thyroid cancer status post total thyroidectomy underwent the second I radioiodine ablation therapy for lung metastases. Posttherapeutic whole-body I planar images showed diffuse uptake in the lungs and intense focal activity in both sides of the upper abdomen. SPECT/CT of the abdomen localized the uptake in the upper pole of the left kidney and the lower pole of the right kidney. The patient received bilateral partial nephrectomy with pathology demonstrating that these 2 renal lesions were renal hamartomas.

Background: While most thyroid nodules are benign, 7-15% are malignant. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules (specifically Bethesda IV/Thy3f) often undergo diagnostic hemithyroidectomy to reach a diagnosis on final histology. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of circulating large extracellular vesicles as diagnostic biomarkers in patients presenting with Thy3f thyroid nodules.

Previous studies suggested a relationship between obesity and a high risk of thyroid cancer. However, the association between high body mass index (BMI) and the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is controversial. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of excess BMI on histopathologic aggressiveness of PTC in a Chinese population.

Purpose: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial regulatory roles in the tumorigenesis and progression of various cancers. However, the functional roles of lncRNAs in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the lncRNA FAM111A-DT in PTC progression and the underlying mechanisms.

Metastasis is the trigger of death in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) patients, yet the specific mechanisms at play are still largely enigmatic. While the involvement of LARP1 in the metastatic process of various cancers has been documented, there is a noticeable gap in the literature regarding its potential influence on ATC metastasis. Molecular studies probed LARP1 expression within ATC cells, with subsequent in vitro experiments examining the effects of LARP1 on ATC cell metastasis and the mTOR signaling cascade.

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.
