Multicentricity in the thyroid differentiated carcinoma

Multicentricity in the thyroid differentiated carcinoma.

UNLABELLED The treatment of choice for the well differentiated thyroid carcinoma has always been controversial. AIM to analyze tumor invasion of the thyroid gland's contralateral lobe in cases of differentiated carcinoma, correlating risk/benefit with the complications of a second surgical approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective study, from 1998 to 2006, of 27 patients undergoing less...

Evaluation of Treatment of Differentiated Carcinoma of Thyroid.

The treatment of patient with differentiated carcinoma of thyroid consists of three stages, surgery, I 1.1.i ablation and hormone therapy. To avoid the problems mentioned in the article, initially the patient should have thyroid scan, T.1 , T4, thyroglobulin estimation and a chest x-ray, prior to surgery which should be carried out by a competent surgeon, in order that total thyroidectomy can b...

Multikinase inhibitors use in differentiated thyroid carcinoma

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, and its incidence is increasing. Standard therapy for most patients with localized differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) includes surgery, radioactive iodine, and thyroid hormone replacement. A minority of thyroid cancer patients requires systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Patients with metastatic DTC do not usually benefit from tradit...

External Beam Radiation in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma

The treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is surgery followed in some cases by adjuvant treatment, mostly with radioactive iodine (RAI). External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is less common and not a well-established treatment modality in DTC. The risk of recurrence depends on three major prognostic factors: extra-thyroid extension, patient's age, and tumor with reduced iodine uptake....
