Thyroid cancer as the malignant tumor with the highest incidence in the endocrine system also shows a fast growth and development. In this work, we developed a new method to identify copy number variation- (CNV-) driven differentially expressed lncRNAs in thyroid cancer for predicting cancer prognosis. The data of RNA sequencing, CNV, methylation, mutation, and clinical details of thyroid cancer were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas database (TCGA). Molecular subtypes were clustered by iClusterPlus. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was employed to show co-expression modules. DEseq2 was conducted to identify protein coding genes (PCGs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs. CNV was detected using GISTIC 2.0. Three molecular subtypes were identified, and 68 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) related to cancer were found among different molecular subtypes. CNV of FOXD2-AS1, FAM181A-AS1, and RNF157-AS1 was associated with overall survival and was involved in cancer-related pathways. These three DElncRNAs discovered based on CNV could serve as prognostic biomarkers to predict prognosis for thyroid cancer and new targets to explore molecular drugs.

Rationale And Objectives: Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) and BRAF mutation in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) increase mortality and recurrence risk. Preoperative identification presents considerable challenges. Although radiomics has emerged as a potential tool for identifying ETE and BRAF mutation, systematic evidence supporting its effectiveness remains insufficient.

This research work focuses on developing an advanced diagnostic method for thyroid nodules using ultrasonography images. The core idea revolves around the observation that the presence and amount of calcium flecks in thyroid nodules can indicate their severity, potentially leading to severe thyroid cancer. A novel technique, named Bilateral Mean Clustering Strategy (Bi-MCS), is proposed, combining the strengths of Fuzzy C mean and K-mean clustering approaches.

Background And Aims: Follicular-patterned thyroid tumors (FPTTs) are frequently encountered in thyroid pathology, encompassing follicular adenoma (FA), follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP), and follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (fvPTC). Recently, a distinct entity termed differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma has been described by the 5th edition of the WHO classification of the thyroid tumors, categorized as either high-grade fvPTC, high-grade FTC or high-grade oncocytic carcinoma of the thyroid (OCA). Accurate differentiation among these lesions, particular between the benign (FA), borderline (NIFTP) and malignant neoplasms (FTC and fvPTC), remains a challenge in both histopathological and cytological diagnoses.

Despite a favorable prognosis, DTC management remains complex, often involving thyroidectomy followed by radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. While RAI is crucial for patient outcomes, its efficacy varies, necessitating the identification of predictors for treatment response.

Objective: This study aims to demonstrate the impact of sarcopenia on the prognosis of early breast cancer and its role in early multimodal intervention.
Methods: The clinical data of patients (n=285) subjected to chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer diagnosed pathologically between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Accordingly, the recruited subjects were divided into sarcopenia (n=85) and non-sarcopenia (n=200) groups according to CT diagnosis correlating with single-factor and multifactorial logistic regression analyses.
