Distinguishing Benign from Malignant Nodules
L ung cancer causes more cancer-related deaths in the United States than any other malignancy. Two facts account for this disturbing observation. The incidence of lung cancer in both men and women has progressively increased in recent years. Treatment of lung cancer remains largely ineffective. The overall 5-year survival rate for patients with lung cancer may be as low as 7 percent to 14 perce...
متن کاملUse and misuse of thyroid hormone.
Synthetic thyroxine has replaced animal thyroid gland extract as the preferred drug in chronic thyroid hormone replacement. Synthetic thyroxine monotherapy is used to treat overt primary and secondary hypothyroidism, and some cases of subclinical hypothyroidism. In addition, thyroid-stimulating hormone suppressive therapy with thyroxine is a component of the chronic treatment for differentiated...
متن کاملLocal molecular analysis of indeterminate thyroid nodules
BACKGROUND Thyroid nodules are common but only a minority are malignant. Molecular testing can assist in helping determine whether indeterminate nodules are suspicious for malignancy or benign. The objective of the study was to determine if the analysis of mutations (BRAF, NRAS, KRAS and HRAS) using readily available molecular techniques can help better classify indeterminate thyroid nodules. ...

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
15 صفحه اولMolecular profiling distinguishes papillary carcinoma from benign thyroid nodules.
Recently we identified a molecular basis for differentiating benign and malignant follicular thyroid tumors. The purpose of these studies was to determine whether molecular analysis can be used to differentiate papillary thyroid carcinomas from benign thyroid nodules. Gene expression patterns of 14 papillary thyroid carcinomas and 21 benign tumors were analyzed by oligonucleotide array analysis...
