The authors discuss some legal aspects and protection problems relative to surgical procedures involving radioactive patients, also in the light of recent European guidelines. They analyse in particular the radiation risk associated with the more common cases concerning radioactive substances that are administered for diagnostic purposes. This study affords a preliminary evaluation of the risk inherent in such surgery, in the light of experimental measurements.

Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis between primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid and squamous cell carcinoma combined with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, China.
Background: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (PSCCT) has recently been reclassified as a morphologic pattern of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). Consequently, PSCCT and squamous cell carcinoma with papillary thyroid carcinoma (SCC-PTC) were categorized as ATC. However, in terms of clinical characteristics and overall prognosis, whether PSCCT is similar to SCC-PTC has yet to be sufficiently investigated.

Thyroid cancer, one of the most common endocrine tumors, generally has a favorable prognosis but remains a significant medical and societal concern due to its high incidence. Early diagnosis and treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) significantly affect long-term outcomes, requiring the selection and application of appropriate initial treatments to improve prognosis and quality of life. Recent advances in technology and health information systems have enhanced our understanding of the molecular genetics of thyroid cancer, facilitating the identification of aggressive subgroups and enabling the accumulation of research on risk factors through big data.

Context: Literature suggests patients with thyroid cancer have unmet informational needs in many aspects of care. Patients often turn to online resources for their health-related information, and generative artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT are an emerging and attractive resource for patients.
Objective: To assess the quality of ChatGPT's responses to thyroid cancer-related questions.
Comparison of hook wire and microcoil preoperative localisation in subsolid pulmonary nodules: a retrospective analysis.
Clin Radiol
December 2024
Department of Nuclear Medicine, Minimally Invasive Intervention and Radioactive Particle Therapy Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University, Chongqing, 400038, China. Electronic address:
Aim: Subsolid nodules are increasingly detected during physical examinations with computed tomography (CT) scan and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is the standard treatment. This study compared the effectiveness of preoperative localisation of subsolid pulmonary nodules using a hook-wire and a microcoil under CT guidance prior to VATS.
Materials And Methods: Patients with solitary subsolid pulmonary nodules (n = 342) underwent percutaneous puncture localisation guided by CT before VATS.
[Measurement of Airborne Radioactivity in the Inpatient Room after Administering [Cu]Cu-ATSM to Patients].

Department of Radiology, Kindai University Faculty of Medicine.
Objective: [Cu]Cu-ATSM is a radiotherapeutics under clinical trials. It is necessary to take appropriate measures to limit its exposure and ensures its airborne concentrations do not exceed legally permitted levels. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to measure the airborne radioactivity concentration in the inpatient room after administering [Cu]Cu-ATSM to patients.
