Thyroid Cancer in Childhood Cancer Survivors: Demographic, Clinical, Germline Genetic Characteristics, Treatment, and Outcome.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Surgical Oncology, Medical Faculty, Okan University, 34947 Istanbul, Turkey.
Childhood cancer survival rates have improved, but survivors face an increased risk of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs), particularly thyroid cancer. This study examines the demographic, clinical, genetic, and treatment characteristics of childhood cancer survivors who developed thyroid cancer as a second or third malignancy, emphasizing the importance of long-term surveillance. A retrospective review was conducted for childhood cancer survivors treated between 1990 and 2018 who later developed thyroid cancer as a second or third malignancy.

Purpose: Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (POSH) is a common complication after total thyroidectomy. This study aims to assess the accuracy of serum and ionized calcium and PTH levels on the first postoperative day (POD-1) to predict postoperative hypocalcemia (PoHC), transient hypoparathyroidism (THPT), and permanent hypoparathyroidism (PtHPT).
Methods: Biochemical parameters and clinical variables were retrospectively analyzed in 200 patients.
Limited Utility of Routine Surveillance Ultrasound in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Patients With Undetectable Postoperative Thyroglobulin Levels.
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)
January 2025
Section of Endocrine Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of California, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Background: Neck ultrasound (US) and serum thyroglobulin (Tg) measurements are mainstays of long-term differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) surveillance. Given the high sensitivity of serum Tg, we aimed to assess the utility of neck US in DTC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and have undetectable serum Tg.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of DTC patients who underwent a total thyroidectomy at our institution (2010-2023) and received US-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) during their surveillance.
THE EVALUATION OF SHORT AND LONG-TERM QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING THYROIDECTOMY DUE TO BENIGN OR MALIGNANT DISEASES.
Acta Endocrinol (Buchar)
January 2025
Health Sciences University "Dr. Abdurrahman Yurtaslan" Oncology Training and Research Hospital, Department of General Surgery, Ankara, Turkey.
Context: In patients undergoing thyroidectomy for malignant disease, lower quality of life scores were observed in the early postoperative period compared to those undergoing thyroidectomy for benign causes.
Objective: Thyroid gland diseases are commonly encountered in society. This study presents health-related quality of life differences in thyroidectomies performed for benign and malignant diseases and the factors affecting this.
EFFICACY AND PROGNOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH PAPILLARY THYROID CANCER WITH POSTOPERATIVE PREABLATIVE STIMULATED THYROGLOBULIN ABOVE 10 NG/ML AFTER INITIAL THERAPY WITH RADIOIODINE.

January 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of USTC, Division of Life Sciences and Medicine, University of Science and Technology of China - Department of Nuclear Medicine, Hefei, Anhui, China.
Objective: Few prognostic analyses have been conducted for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients with preablative stimulated Tg >10 ng/mL. We investigated the therapeutic responses and prognosis of these patients after the initial radioiodine (RAI) therapy.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed 256 patients with PTC who underwent RAI remnant ablation after total thyroidectomy, and all presTg levels were >10 ng/mL.
