Background: Thyroid cancer is the most frequently occurring of endocrine organs. From past few decades, prevalence thyroid carcinoma increasing generally and this has aroused great public concern.Papillary primarily responsible for high prevalence.The cases other types malignancies have remained stable over time. Aim: To analyze our institution-based trends in histopathological characteristics ...

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is an uncommon malignancy of the thyroid. Only 1-2% of thyroid cancers are anaplastic, but the disease contributes to 14-50% of the mortality with a median survival of 3 to 5 months. Most patients diagnosed with this disease are 65 years of age or older. The incidence of anaplastic thyroid cancer is decreasing worldwide. Most patients present with a rapidly growi...

In North America, the incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing by over 6% per year. We studied the trends and factors influencing thyroid cancer incidence, its clinical presentation, and treatment outcome during 1970-2010 in a population-based cohort of 2306 consecutive thyroid cancers in Canada, that was followed up for a median period of 10.5 years. Disease-specific survival (DSS) and diseas...

colorectal cancer (crc) metastasis to the thyroid gland is rare. here wereport a 45 yr-old man in western iran referred to hematology clinic, kermanshah city, iran in march 2014 with complaint of exertional dyspnea, multi-nodular goiter as well as complaint of exertional dyspnea, and multi-nodular goiter. his history included a low anterior resection of rectum in 9 months ago for a high-risk st...

PURPOSE Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is rare, yet lethal despite aggressive therapy. Molecular targeting may be beneficial using the rexinoid LGD1069, a retinoid X receptor-selective agonist, as a novel treatment. In this report, we describe the efficacy of LGD1069 in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma in vitro and assess the in vivo treatment effects on a responsive cancer. Additionally, we explore ...

The transformation of endodermal-derived thyroid follicular cells or neural crest– derived thyroid C cells leads to distinct types of cancer (Fig. 1). Follicular cells give rise to two main forms of differentiated thyroid cancer: papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma. Poorly differentiated and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas are comparatively rare tumors that also arise fro...

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the rarest (1–2%) form of cancer, but also most aggressive and associated with worst prognosis. The survival median rate 5–6 months, whereas only 20% patients survive more than one year from diagnosis, even though usage radiotherapy surgical resection. growing incidence ATC determine need for new prophylactic, diagnostic therapeutic solutions. Metformin was fi...

We present 2 patients with pituitary metastases from thyroid carcinoma-the first from anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and the second from follicular thyroid carcinoma. The first patient, a 50-year-old lady, presented with 2-week history of hoarseness of voice, dysphagia, dyspnoea, and neck swelling. Imaging revealed metastatic thyroid cancer to lymph nodes and bone. Histology from surgery confirme...

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine carcinoma with increasing incidence worldwide and anaplastic subtypes are frequently associated with cancer related death. Radioresistance of thyroid cancer often leads to therapy failure and cancer-related death. In this study, we found that melatonin showed potent suppressive roles on NF-κB signaling via inhibition of p65 phosphorylation and generat...
