Whether radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is effective in improving disease-specific survival (DSS) in patients with follicular variant papillary thyroid cancer (FVPTC) without distant metastasis remains unclear.

Radioactive iodine therapy may not improve disease-specific survival in follicular variant papillary thyroid cancer without distant metastasis: A propensity score-matched analysis.

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) represents 13.4 % of all thyroid cancers-related deaths. The treatments for MTC are very limited especially for patients with distal metastasis. Therefore, it is critical to understand the mechanisms of MTC to pursue novel therapeutic avenues. Here, we studied the function of circPVT1/miR-455-5p in MTC.

circPVT1 regulates medullary thyroid cancer growth and metastasis by targeting miR-455-5p to activate CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling.

To analyze the effect of total thyroidectomy (TT) and thyroid lobectomy (LT) on the long-term prognosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) without extrathyroidal extension and distant metastasis and to clarify whether the tumor size (≤ 40 mm vs. > 40 mm) has an important impact on the extent of surgery.

Impact of Extent of Surgery on Long-Term Prognosis of Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma Without Extrathyroidal Extension and Distant Metastasis.

LINC00152 (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 152) was identified as an oncogenic lncRNA in multiple cancers. In the current study, we aimed to explore the transcriptional profile of LINC00152 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its regulations at the transcriptional level.

LncRNA LINC00152 promotes oral squamous cell carcinoma growth via enhancing Upstream Transcription Factor 1 mediated Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L52 transcription.

One-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) analysis is a molecular diagnostic technique for lymph node metastases (LNMs) by quantifying cytokeratin 19(CK 19) mRNA. We aim to evaluate the intraoperative diagnostic accuracy of OSNA assay for LNMs of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Besides its well-known benefits on human health, calcitriol, the hormonally active form of vitamin D, has been being evaluated in clinical trials as an anticancer agent. However, currently available results are contradictory and not fundamentally deciphered. To the best of our knowledge, hypercalcemia caused by high-dose calcitriol administration and its low bioavailability limit its anticancer investigations and translations. Here, we show that the one-step self-assembly of calcitriol and amphiphilic cholesterol-based conjugates leads to the formation of a stable minimalist micellar nanosystem. When administered to mice, this nanosystem demonstrates high calcitriol doses in breast tumor cells, significant tumor growth inhibition and antimetastasis capability, as well as good biocompatibility. We further reveal that the underlying molecular antimetastatic mechanisms involve downregulation of proteins facilitating metastasis and upregulation of paxillin, the key protein of focal adhesion, in primary tumors.

High-dose vitamin D metabolite delivery inhibits breast cancer metastasis.

It is unclear whether radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy could improve cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) of the thyroid.

Radioactive Iodine Therapy Does not Improve Cancer-specific Survival in Hürthle Cell Carcinoma of the Thyroid.

Lymph node metastasis is widespread in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Patients are more vulnerable than those with central lymph node metastasis if they have lateral neck lymph node metastasis (LLNM). There are few researches focus on the correlation between clinical characteristics and genetic profile of PTC with LLNM. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical and genetic features of PTC with LLNM.

Genetic and clinical profiles of 160 papillary thyroid cancers with lateral neck lymph node metastasis.

Thyroidectomy is always regarded as the crucial treatment for Graves' disease, especially in cases of poor efficacy or excessive side effects of antithyroid- drugs and 131I radioiodine therapy. To decrease the incidence of hemorrhage, thyroid storms and other severe complications during the perioperative period, surgeons explore different therapies to prepare for thyroidectomy. We performed a review of preoperative preparation with a focus on the Graves' disease population. Most of the previous schemes are effective, which contributes to the smooth operation of patients, but there is no unified standard for preoperative preparation. This review aims to summarize the preoperative preparation of Graves' disease and the latest developments. Prospective studies with longer follow up-up periods are required to select appropriate preoperative regimens based on personal thyroid statements and to identify target populations of benefit.
