Abstract

Understanding of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid has improved in recent years with the definition of prognostic factors and risk group analysis. We intend to review our experience of differentiated thyroid cancer in relation to the risk of nodal and distant metastasis based on various histologic subgroups. This is a retrospective review of a consecutive series of 1,038 previously untreated patients with differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid treated over a period of 55 years. Univariate and multivariate analysis of various prognostic factors was performed. The incidence of nodal and distant metastasis was analyzed based on various histologic varieties of differentiated thyroid cancer. There were 337 male and 701 female patients. The various histologic subgroups included papillary (810), follicular (169), and Hurthle cell cancer (59). The cumulative risk of nodal metastasis based on histological group was 61%, 30%, and 21% for papillary, follicular, and Hurthle cell variety, respectively. The risk of distant metastasis for the same histologic varieties was 10%, 22%, and 33%, respectively. The 5- and 20-year survival for these histologic subgroups was papillary (94% and 87%, respectively), follicular (87% and 81%), and H...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
