Exploring the oral‐gut microbiota during thyroid cancer: Factors affecting the thyroid functions and cancer development

MircoRNAs in thyroid cancer

Thyroid cancer, which is known as the most common type of endocrine cancer, has seen a growing prevalence in the last few years. On the other hand, only a small percentage of them are associated with malignancy and most of them are benign tumors. Therefore, the first step in the proper management of this type of cancer is to distinguish malignant tumors from benign ones, and today, we are tryin...

Factors affecting discharge time of well differentiated thyroid cancer patients receiving 131I therapy: Five years’ experience

Introduction:The post-surgical management of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer include ablation of remnant local and distant metastatic tissues with 131I therapy, which accentuates isolation of the patient in order to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure to the care givers, general public and the environment. The duration of isolation is subject to the redu...

The Role of miRNA Dysregulation in Thyroid Cancer Development by Targeting the Main Signaling Pathways

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignancies of endocrine glands, causing carcinomas, such as papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Due to the significance of thyroid carcinomas, identification of the main signaling pathways and  the affecting mutations has been considered by researchers. Further studies on the dysregulation of oncogenes in signaling path...

Thyroid Hormone Receptor Mutations and the Development of Thyroid Cancer

Genetic and Epigenetic of Medullary Thyroid Cancer

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an infrequent calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor that initiates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Several genetic and epigenetic alterations are collaterally responsible for medullary thyroid carcinogenesis. In this review article, we shed light on all the genetic and epigenetic hallmarks of MTC. From the genetic perspective, RET, ...
