: This study aims to reveal regulatory role of cell division cycle associated 8 (CDCA8) in thyroid cancer progression and metastasis. : A series of experiments and were performed to explore the function of CDCA8 in thyroid cancer. : Immunohistochemical analysis showed that CDCA8 expression levels were upregulated in thyroid cancer tissues compared with normal tissues, and were statistically correlated with tumor stage. Results of loss-of-function assay showed that downregulation of endogenous expression of CDCA8 could significantly inhibit cell proliferation, colony formation, cell migration, and promote apoptosis. Thyroid cancer cells lacking CDCA8 expression also had reduced tumorigenicity . Further, results of preliminary mechanistic exploration showed that CDK1 may be a potential downstream molecule of CDCA8 in regulating thyroid cancer progression. We subsequently confirmed that CDK1 itself exerted a significant regulatory function in thyroid cancer by loss- and gain-of-function experiments. Moreover, overexpression of CDK1 could weaken the tumor suppressive effect caused by CDCA8 knockdown. : CDCA8 functions as an oncogene in thyroid cancer, and CDCA8 knockdown suppresses cancer development and . Additionally, CDK1 was further identified as a potential target of CDCA8 in thyroid cancer.

Objective: To analyse at our Institution the criteria for selecting a first-line therapy for patients with an advanced radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer, their clinical responses, safety and survival outcomes.

Patients And Methods: We extracted data from 69 consecutive patients referred from September 2016 to September 2024 at Federico II University Hospital, among whom 44 patients were treated with TKIs as first line treatment and outside any clinical trial, and form the basis of this report.

Results: Thirty-one (71%) patients were treated with the antiangiogenesis inhibitor lenvatinib and 13 (29%) with selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors (s-TKIs).

Objective: The prevalence of Thyroid-Cancer (TC) has increased worldwide and an association with metabolic and cardio-vascular disorders has been reported. Moreover, an increasing percentage of patients are currently diagnosed incidentally through non-thyroid related imaging for other clinical conditions. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of Thyroid-Related (TD) versus Incidental (ID) pre-surgery reasons leading to TC diagnosis and to compare the two groups in terms of clinical characteristics, size and severity of TC at presentation and rate of non-thyroid cancers and cardiovascular/metabolic comorbidities.

In this article, we aim to demonstrate that thyroid carcinoma can metastasize to the small bowel. This case report involves a 66-year-old woman who underwent total thyroidectomy surgery in 2019, with histopathology revealing a 3A undifferentiated thyroid cancer. She presented with symptoms of bowel obstruction, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, with considerable variability in its clinical presentation and prognosis. Recent studies have focused on the relationship between its clinicopathological characteristics and inflammatory biomarkers, particularly the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Our aim was to investigate the correlation between NLR and the clinicopathological features of PTC.
