INTRODUCTION It is not uncommon for patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules to undergo diagnostic hemithyroidectomy. When the final pathology determines that the nodule is in fact malignant, patients require counseling as to the whether a completion thyroidectomy is necessary. OBJECTIVES 1. Determine the incidence of well differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC) in the contralateral thyroid l...

Introduction: Cancer is one of the main causes for mortality and morbidity in the world. Identifying epidemiology and the trend of esophageal cancer may be highly effective in related planning. The present study has been carried out with the aim of exploring the morbidity and trend of esophageal cancer in Iran. Methods: The present study is a type of repe...

background: considering the importance of updating information about incidence and mortality of common or fatal cancers and the need for studying the effectiveness   of   changes   in   the   iranian   cancer   registration   system   from pathological based to population based since 2007, the aim of this study was to provide updated population based information on incidence and mortality rates...

Left upper lobe torsion occurred in a woman during the first 24 hours following left lower lobectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma resection. To our knowledge, this is the first report of left upper lobe torsion. When atypical chest pain or opacification of the remaining lung develops following resectional surgery, torsion of the remaining lung must be suspected. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may...

Background: As the third leading cause of death, cancers have a special place in the Iranian health system. Several studies have been done in some regions of the country with few years of follow-ups, but this was the first standardized study to investigate the incidence trends of colorectal cancer in Iran in a one-decade period.   Methods: The registered data for colorectal cancer cases...

background and aims: the aim of this study was the modeling of the incidence rates of colorectal, breast and prostate cancers using a shared component model in order to explore the spatial pattern of their shared risk factors (i.e., obesity and low physical activity) affecting on cancer incidence, and also to estimate the relative weight of these shared components. methods: in this study, the ...

The most usual form of the endocrine carcinoma is thyroid cancer (TC). In addition to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), recent studies revealed incidence of RET/PTC rearrangement in other tumors, like Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) and even in non-carcinomatous disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Here, we present a case with concurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hürthle cell carcino...
