ABSTRACT

Objective:To compare the surgical outcomes between scarless endoscopic thyroidectomy-lateral neck dissection (SET-LND) and open LND for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with lymph node metastasis and to share the experience in the prevention and treatment of lymphatic leakage after LND.Methods:Totally 90 PTC patients (25 males) who underwent LND in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from Jan. 2021 to Aug. 2022 were retrospectively enrolled, with an average age of (28.06±4.89) years. They were divided into the SET-LND group ( n=50) and the open LND group ( n=40). The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, drainage volume on the first and the second days, postoperative lymphatic leakage, tumor (T), and node (N) were observed. The categorical variable data were compared between groups by χ 2 test, and the continuous variable data confirming normal distribution were compared between groups by independent sample t-test. Results:The operation time of the SET-LND group was (284.00±74.65) min, significantly longer than that of the open LND group (145.38±43.26) min ( t=-10.42, P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss ( t=-1.309, P=0.194), postoperative hospital stay ( t=-0.136, P=0.892), drainage volume on the first day ( t=-1.074, P=0.286), and drainage volume on the second day ( t=-1.595, P=0.114), postoperative lymphatic leakage ( χ2=0.001, P=0.989), T ( t=0.367, P=0.714), N ( t=-1.614, P=0.110) were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion:Two surgical methods of LND have similar therapeutic effects and no significant difference was observed in the incidence of postoperative lymphatic leakage between the two groups.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the effectiveness of radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with an intermediate and high risk of recurrence.Methods:The clinical data of 709 cases of PTC, comprising 226 men and 483 women, who underwent surgical treatment for thyroid cancer at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from Oct. 2010 to Jan. 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether RAI treatment was performed after initial surgery or not, they were divided into a RAI group (253 cases with intermediate risk and 209 cases with high risk) and a non-RAI group (147 cases with intermediate risk and 100 cases with high risk), and the relationship between RAI treatment and clinicopathological characteristics such as sex, age, and tumor size for intermediate- and high-risk PTC was analyzed by χ2 test or Fisher’s exact test and Logistic regression analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the recurrence-free survival rate. Results:The treatment rate of intermediate-risk PTC RAI was 63.25% (253/400) and that of high-risk PTC RAI was 67.64% (209/309). Univariate analysis of intermediate-risk PTC showed that age, bilateral tumors, lymph node metastasis stage, number of lymph node metastases, and intermediate-risk PTC RAI treatment were closely related (all P values <0.05). Multi-factor regression analysis of intermediate-risk PTC showed that age ≥ 55 ( OR=0.282, P=0.005), lymph node metastasis stage N1b ( OR=19.245, P<0.001), and the number of lymph node metastases ≤ 5 ( OR=0.322, P<0.001) were independent predictors of RAI treatment for intermediate-risk PTC (all P values < 0.05). The recurrence-free survival curve for intermediate-risk PTC showed a lower recurrence-free survival rate in the RAI group than in the non-RAI group, but the difference was borderline significant ( P=0.049). Univariate analysis of high-risk PTC showed that age, multifocal tumors, bilateral tumors, lymph node metastasis stage, number of lymph node metastases and high-risk PTC RAI treatment were strongly associated (all P values <0.05). Multifactorial regression analysis for high-risk PTC showed that age ≥ 55 ( OR=0.382, P=0.020), bilateral tumors ( OR=2.173, P=0.030), lymph node metastasis stage N1b ( OR=11.215, P<0.001), and the number of lymph node metastases ≤5 ( OR=0.389, P=0.004) were independent predictors of RAI treatment for high-risk PTC patients (all P values <0.05). The recurrence-free survival curve for high-risk PTC showed a lower recurrence-free survival rate in the RAI group than in the non-RAI group, however, the difference was not statistically significant ( P=0.07) . Conclusions:No significant benefit was observed with RAI treatment for intermediate- and high-risk PTC and rigorous screening of eligible patients is recommended.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze and compare the pathological data characteristics of patients with simple papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and PTC combined with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), so as to provide clinical treatment ideas.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of 326 PTC patients who met the requirements and underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery, Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Jan. 2020 to May. 2022. There were 81 males and 245 females. They were divided into PTC group and HT-PTC group, according to whether they were combined with HT. Clinical data were collected and organized. The collection indicators included patient gender, age, body mass index (BMI), five preoperative thyroid function items including free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), BRAF gene mutation, single or bilateral lesions, single or multiple lesions, largest postoperative pathological tumor lesions diameter, cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) status, etc. At the same time, all patients were divided into CLNM group and no CLNM group according to CLNM status. The two groups were compared in terms of gender, age ≥55 years old, whether combined with HT, number of lesions, unilateral and bilateral, extraglandular invasion, microcarcinoma, and BRAF gene. Statistical software was used to analyze the results. t test, χ2 test, and logistic regression analysis were adopted. P<0.05 indicates that the difference is statistically significant. Results:The proportion of female patients in both groups was higher, and the proportion of female patients in the HT-PTC group (90/100, 90%) was higher than that in the PTC group (155/226, 69.59%). HT-PTC patients were younger than patients in the PTC group (43.03±12.72 vs. 43.70±12.63) years old, and their TSH (2.71±1.69 vs. 2.02±1.46) uIU/mL was higher. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in BMI, FT3, FT4, T3, or T4 (all P>0.05). The HT-PTC group had a lower proportion of BRAF gene mutations [87/100 (87%) vs. 212/226 (93.8%) ], a smaller maximum tumor diameter (1.06±0.73 vs. 1.32±0.97 cm), and a lower proportion of CLNM [37 /100 (37%) vs. 118/226 (52.2%) ]. The number of LNMs with metastasis is less (3.33±2.21 vs. 4.76±4.00), and it was more likely to be multifocal [44/100 (44%) vs. 73/226 (32.74%) ]. All differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05), and the differences in bilateral gland lobes involvement and extra-glandular invasion were not statistically significant. When accompanied by CLNM, gender (male vs. female) [55/100 (35.45%/64.52%) vs. 26/145 (15.2%/84.85%) ], age ≥ 55 years (yes vs. no) [21/134 (13.55) %/86.45%) vs. 50/121 (29.24%/70.76%) ], HT (yes vs. no) [37/118 (23.87%/76.13%) vs. 63/108 (36.84%/63.16%), number of lesions (single focus vs. multiple focus) [90/65 (41.94%/50.06%) vs. 119/52 (69.59%/30.41%) ], microcarcinoma (yes vs. no) [83/72 (53.55%/45.45%) vs. 139/32 (81.29%/18.71%) ] and extraglandular invasion (with vs. without) [38/117 (24.52%/75.48%) vs. 27/144 (17.42%/84.21%) ] had statistics significance (both P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in bilateral lesion involvement or BRAF gene mutation (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, microcarcinoma, HT, gender, and number of lesions were independent risk factors for CLNM, and male gender and multifocal cancer were risk factors for CLNM. Age ≥55 years, microcarcinoma, and combined HT were negatively associated with CLNM. Conclusions:HT may promote the occurrence of PTC, but can inhibit its development. In the short term, patients with HT can have a better prognosis than those with simple PTC.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the factors affecting the number of lymph nodes obtained by unilateral lobectomy and isthmus combined with prophylactic ipsilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer,and to analyze the pattern of change so as to provide an important basis for clinical treatment of papillary thyroid cancer.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and pathological data of 193 patients admitted to the department of Thyroid Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from January 2019 to January 2022 for papillary thyroid cancer who underwent unilateral glandular lobe and isthmus resec-tion combined with prophylactic ipsilateral central lymph node dissection.The number of obtained lymph nodes was divided into a group with high number of obtained lymph nodes(n>6)and a group with low number of obtained lymph nodes(n≤6).Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to explore the factors affecting the num-ber of obtained lymph nodes.The influence of the number of lymph nodes on the central lymph node metastasis was evaluated by correlation analysis,and the influence of the number of lymph nodes on the quality of life of patients by postoperative complications analysis.Results The number of lymph nodes obtained was positively correlated with the number of lymph node metastases in the central region(r = 0.240,P<0.05)and the rate of lymph node metastasis(r = 0.161,P<0.05),respectively.The number of lymph node metastases controlled remained unchanged,and the rate of lymph node metastasis decreased with the increase of the number of obtained lymph nodes(r =-0.444,P<0.05).Univariate analysis of the number of lymph nodes between the two groups showed no significant differences in terms of sex,age,operation duration,BMI,maximum tumor diameter,multifocality,Hashimoto's thyroiditis,focal location,capsular invasion,contralateral thyroid nodule,parathyroid transplantation and BRAF gene V600E mutation(P>0.05).There was statistical significance in the application of nano carbon between the two groups(P<0.05).Logistic binary regression analysis showed that the combination of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the application of carbon nanoparticles were independent influencing factors for the high number of lymph nodes obtained(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis suggested that the area under the curve occupied by carbon nanoscale was 0.658(95%CI:0.580~0.735,P<0.05),and the area under the curve occupied by Hashimoto's thyroiditis was 0.584(95%CI:0.504~0.665,P<0.05).In addition,there was no significant difference in the incidence of vocal cord paralysis and lymphatic leakage between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions When the number of lymph nodes in the cen-tral region remained unchanged,the higher the number of lymph nodes obtained,the lower the rate of lymph node metastasis.The application of nano-carbon and patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis could increase the number of lymph nodes obtained,and there is no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between high and low number of lymph nodes obtained.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To compare the metabolomic characteristics of stage T1 papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)and nodular goiter(NG),and the relationship between metabolites and lymph node metastasis of PTC.METHODS Serum samples were collected from 60 patients with stage T1 PTC and 30 patients with NG who underwent thyroidectomy at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery,Civil Aviation General Hospital between September 2021 and April 2022.The PTC group was divided into the N+ group with lymph node metastasis and the N-group without lymph node metastasis according to the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis.The serum metabolites of the N+ and N-groups and the PTC and NG groups were compared and analyzed using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS)coupled platform,and principal component analysis(PCA),partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)was performed using SIMCA-P 14.1 software.OPLS-DA modeling,combined with FDR-corrected Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test results and metabolite difference multiples in the two groups undergoing comparison,etc.to screen for potential small molecule metabolic markers,and to establish a joint diagnostic model by binary logistic regression analysis.RESULTS There were no significant differential metabolites between the N+ group with lymph node metastasis and the N-group without lymph node metastasis.Seven differential metabolites were found between PCA patients and NG patients,and the five relevant metabolic pathways were the pentose phosphate pathway,pentose and glucuronide interconversion,glycolysis/gluconeogenesis,fructose,and mannose metabolism,and fatty acid biosynthesis.The differential metabolite with an area under the ROC curve>0.9 was D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate,and another N-undecanoylglycine,uronic acid,and the area under the ROC curve for three metabolites,N-undecanoylglycine,uric acid,and triiodothyronine glucuronide,was>0.8.CONCLUSION PTC patients differed from NG patients mainly in glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism,and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate could be distinguished from NG patients with the aid of N-undecanoylglycine,uric acid,and triiodothyronine glucuronide,combined with imaging findings.Also,no significant differences in serum metabolites were found in the N+ group compared with the N-group,and the presence or absence of lymph node metastases did not affect serum metabolites in patients with stage T1 PTC.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: MCM3AP-AS1 has been characterized as an oncogenic long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in several cancers including papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), but its role in PTC has not been fully elucidated. Considering the critical role of lncRNAs in cancer biology, further functional analysis of MCM3AP-AS1 in PTC may provide novel insights into PTC management. Subjects and methods: Paired tumor and non-tumor tissues were collected from 63 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. Expression levels of MCM3AP-AS1 , miR-218 and GLUT1 in tissue samples were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Cell transfection was performed to explore the interactions among MCM3AP-AS1 , miR-218 and GLUT1 . Cell proliferation assay was performed to evaluate the effects of MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-218 on cell proliferation. Results: MCM3AP-AS1 accumulated to high levels in PTC tissues and was affected by clinical stage. MCM3AP-AS1 showed a positive correlation with GLUT1 across PTC tissues. RNA interaction prediction showed that MCM3AP-AS1 could bind to miR-218 , which can directly target GLUT1 . MCM3AP-AS1 and miR-218 showed no regulatory role regulating the expression of each other, but overexpression of MCM3AP-AS1 upregulated GLUT1 and enhanced cell proliferation. In contrast, overexpression of miR-218 downregulated GLUT1 and attenuated cell proliferation. In addition, miR-218 suppressed the role of MCM3AP-AS1 in regulating the expression of GLUT1 and cell proliferation. Conclusions: MCM3AP-AS1 may serve as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-218 to upregulate GLUT1 in PTC, thereby promoting cell proliferation. The MCM3AP-AS1/miR-218/GLUT1 pathway characterized in the present study might serve as a potential target to treat PTC.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the expression of cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs) marker proteins in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) using immunohistochemistry and explore their correlation with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 90 PTC patients at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from December 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Surgical pathological cancer tissue samples were selected for immunohistochemical staining, and control group tissues were obtained from normal thyroid tissue adjacent to the tumor lesion. Four CAFs marker proteins, including fibroblast-activated protein(FAP), α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), Vimentin, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α(PDGFR-α), were stained and scored, followed by statistical analysis.Results:The immunoreactivity score of the CAFs marker proteins were correlated with extrathyroid invasion, lymph node metastasis, and multi-focality of PTC. FAP and α-SMA demonstrated better performance in this regard. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis showed that high immunoreactivity scores of FAP and α-SMA were risk factors for poor clinical pathological features, with good predictive sensitivity and accuracy.Conclusion:Strong expression of CAFs was the risk factor for extrathyroid invasion, lymph node metastasis, and mutli-focality of PTC. FAP has the highest clinical value compared with other CAFs marker proteins.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the metabolic mechanism of papillary thyroid cancer(PTC) in normal and Hashimoto′s thyroiditis(HT) background, and to explore the relationship between HT and PTC.Methods:This study included a matched sample set collected from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between January 2018 and January 2019, consisting of PTC and paracancular tissue from 31 cases with coexisting HT(HT group), and 30 cases without(NC group), all confirmed pathologically following thyroidectomy. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with mixed four-stage poles time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was employed to acquire data from the samples. Metabolite differences between the two groups were compared, aiming to identify distinct metabolic mechanisms of PTC under different backgrounds. Metabolic pathway analysis was conducted using Metabo-Analyst 5.0 to explore relevant metabolic pathways.Results:The HT group and NC group shared 7 common differentially expressed metabolites, including arginine, glutamic acid, cysteine, citric acid, malic acid, uracil, and taurine. Logistic regression model combined with receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analysis of these 7 biomarkers yielded excellent discriminatory capacity for PTC(area under ROC curve of HT group and NC group were 0.867 and 0.973, respectively). The common metabolic pathways were taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, alanine, aspartic acid and glutamic acid metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, and glutamine and glutamic acid metabolism. The specific metabolic pathways in HT group were aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism.Conclusion:The metabolic profiles of thyroid cancer exhibit significant differences between cases with normal backgrounds and those with HT. The specific pathways for PTC and HT are aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis and the metabolism of glycine, serine, and threonine.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of these guidelines is to provide specific recommendations for the surgical treatment of neck metastases in patients with papillary, follicular, and medullary thyroid carcinomas. Materials and methods: Recommendations were developed based on research of scientific articles (preferentially meta-analyses) and guidelines issued by international medical specialty societies. The American College of Physicians' Guideline Grading System was used to determine the levels of evidence and grades of recommendations. The following questions were answered: A) Is elective neck dissection indicated in the treatment of papillary, follicular, and medullary thyroid carcinoma? B) When should central, lateral, and modified radical neck dissection be performed? C) Could molecular tests guide the extent of the neck dissection? Results/conclusion: Recommendation 1: Elective central neck dissection is not indicated in patients with cN0 well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma or in those with noninvasive T1 and T2 tumors but may be considered in T3-T4 tumors or in the presence of metastases in the lateral neck compartments. Recommendation 2: Elective central neck dissection is recommended in medullary thyroid carcinoma. Recommendation 3: Selective neck dissection of levels II-V should be indicated to treat neck metastases in papillary thyroid cancer, an approach that decreases the risk of recurrence and mortality. Recommendation 4: Compartmental neck dissection is indicated in the treatment of lymph node recurrence after elective or therapeutic neck dissection; "berry node picking" is not recommended. Recommendation 5: There are currently no recommendations regarding the use of molecular tests in guiding the extent of neck dissection in thyroid cancer.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Thyroid cancer usually responds to surgical and ablative therapy, but when it's refractory the alternative lies in tyrosine kinase inhibitors that, in addition to harmful side effects, acts only in a palliative way. The concern for other therapeutic possibilities brought evidence on flavonoids, hypothesizing a possible strategy. This review aimed to organize a compilation of in vitro studies using polyphenol substances in TPC-1 (human papillary thyroid carcinoma cell line) summarizing it's results and describing the metabolic pathways involved. Articles were selected on PubMed, Google Scholar, LILACS, BVS and SciELO, using keywords "thyroid cancer", "flavonoids" and "TPC-1", until June 2022. 185 studies were selected. After identification and exclusion of duplicates and exclusion criteria applied, 11 original articles were evaluated. Of these, the findings of flavonoids added to TPC-1 were: inhibition of cell growth and viability, promotion of cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis. Polyphenolic compounds have antineoplastic properties by different mechanisms as shown in vitro, but the concentrations needed are above usual dietary consumption and the findings are limited to experimental cellular studies. Despite that, these results should be useful to guide further analysis aiming to reveal the real safety and efficacy of polyphenols in this scenario.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La incidencia del carcinoma de tiroides ha aumentado a nivel mundial, probablemente relacionado con el sobre diagnóstico de nódulos tiroideos asintomáticos. La alta sobrevida del carcinoma diferenciado de tiroides ha permitido posibilidades de manejo quirúrgico menos radicales, o inclusive, la vigilancia activa de tumores seleccionados. Existen reportes de características clínico-patológicas del carcinoma de tiroides de nuestro país distintas a las reportadas en la literatura internacional. Métodos. Estudio observacional descriptivo de una cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes con carcinoma de tiroides atendidos en un hospital universitario entre 2015 y 2020. Resultados. Se identificaron 634 pacientes, el 83,4 % de sexo femenino. La tiroidectomía total con vaciamiento central fue el procedimiento más realizado (86,7 %). De 613 carcinomas diferenciados de tiroides, el 94,2 % corresponden al tipo papilar, seguido por el carcinoma de células de Hürtle (1,6 %); el 26,2 % presentaron subtipos histológicos agresivos y el 28,4 % compromiso tumoral bilateral. En los vaciamientos centrales se encontró 58,7 % de enfermedad metastásica; que fue de 49 % en los pacientes con microcarcinomas papilares (19 %). De las 68 lesiones del nervio laríngeo recurrente, 47 % fueron por secciones oncológicas. Discusión. En nuestra serie, la proporción de pacientes con carcinoma papilar de tiroides y de sus variantes histológicas agresivas, así como el compromiso tumoral bilateral es mayor a lo reportado en la literatura científica. Conclusión. El comportamiento biológico del carcinoma de tiroides es variable y puede tener características diferentes entre regiones; el manejo en nuestro medio debería considerar las características propias de nuestra población.


Introduction. The incidence of thyroid carcinoma has increased worldwide, probably related to the overdiagnosis of asymptomatic thyroid nodules. The high survival of differentiated thyroid carcinoma has allowed less radical surgical resection or even active surveillance for selected tumors. There are reports of clinicopathological features of thyroid carcinoma in our country that are different from those reported in the international literature. Methods. Retrospective observational study of a cohort of patients with thyroid carcinoma treated at a university hospital between 2015 and 2020. Results. 634 patients were identified; 83.4% were female. Total thyroidectomy with central dissection was the most performed procedure (86.7%). Of the 613 differentiated thyroid carcinomas, 94.2% were papillary type, followed by Hürtle cell carcinoma with 1.6%; 26.2% presented aggressive histological subtypes and 28.4% had bilateral tumor involvement. Metastatic disease was found in 58.7% of the central dissections performed, which was 49% in patients with papillary microcarcinomas (19%). Of the 68 recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries, 47% were due to oncological involvement. Discussion. In our series, the rate of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and its aggressive histological subtypes as well as bilateral tumor involvement is higher than that reported in the scientific literature. Conclusion: The biological behavior of thyroid carcinoma is variable and may have different characteristics between regions; the management in our country should consider our population's characteristics.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: The prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of coexistence of PTC with AT versus that of the coexistence of benign nodules with AT. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional retrospective study including patients operated on for thyroid nodules from January 2011, to April 2021. The frequency of papillary carcinomas cooccurring with AT was compared to that of benign nodules cooccurring with AT, which was assessed based on cytopathological diagnosis after thyroidectomy. Results: The study included 668 cases of benign nodules and 420 cases with PTC. No statistically significant difference was observed between cases of benign and PTC nodules regarding the presence of AT (25% vs. 28%, respectively, p = 0.177). The size of the PTC compared to that of the benign predominant nodules was significantly smaller both in the absence (0.96 ± 1.09 cm vs. 2.19 ± 1.06 cm, p < 0.05) and in the presence (0.77 ± 0.76 cm vs. 1.67 ± 1.08 cm, p < 0.01) of AT. In the binary logistic regression analysis of the PTC, the only variable associated with AT was multifocality (odds ratio: 1.750, 95% confidence intervals: 1.131-2.706, p = 0.013). The incidences of lymph node involvement and advanced stage PTC were very low both in the presence and absence of AT. Conclusion: The nodules present with PTC were not more likely to coexist with AT than benign nodules were. The small incidence of advanced PTC indicates a significant improvement in early-stage diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: In 2015, American Thyroid Association (ATA) issued the first version of Management Guidelines for Children with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the ATA pediatric guidelines recommended surgical approach for the patient can be applied to surgical treatment of pediatric PTC in China. Method: From April 2012 to December 2020, clinical data of children (≤18 years) with PTC consecutively admitted and treated with initial surgery in the study's department were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The authors found that the central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) rate was significantly higher than that in the lateral neck (83.33 % vs 62.96%, χ2 = 5.704, p = 0.017) .The lymph node metastasis rate was significantly lower in cN1b (-) patients than in cN1b (+) patient (55.00% vs 100.00%, χ2 = 15.263, p = 0.000); Meanwhile, the CLNM and LLNM rates of ipsilateral were significantly higher than those of contralateral central compartment (83.33༅vs 57.41༅%, χ2 = 8.704, p = 0.003). Lymph nodes of 51 lateral lymph node dissection (LND) were analyzed, which revealed the LNM rate of cN1b (-) patients was significantly lower than that of cN1b (+) patients (55.00% vs. 100.00%, χ2 = 15.263, p = 0.000). Conclusion: Children and adolescents have a higher rate of lymph node metastasis at the time of diagnosis. TT should be conducted in the majority of children with PTC. CND should be routinely performed; therapeutic LND is recommended for children with cN1b (+).

ABSTRACT

El cáncer papilar constituye aproximadamente el 80% de todos los casos de cáncer de tiroides y el 85% de los tumores diferenciados. La variante de células altas representa el 1,3 al 12% del cáncer papilar siendo la variante agresiva más común de estos tumores. Posee un comportamiento agresivo, con mayor incidencia de invasión extratiroidea, linfovascular y metástasis a distancia, responsables de tasas de recurrencia más altas y peor pronóstico. Los casos aquí reportados reflejan las características que hacen sospechar mayor agresividad tumoral, desde el diagnóstico. Describimos dos pacientes de sexo femenino, entre 40 y 50 años, con historia de corta evolución, cuya presentación fue con síntomas de compresión locorregional y adenopatías metastásicas en cuello. Con hallazgos ecográficos e intraoperatorios de relevancia en cuanto la agresividad tumoral que hicieron sospechar la presencia de una variante agresiva del cáncer papilar. La histopatología de la variante de células altas posee una base molecular diferente respecto al papilar clásico que le confiere mayor morbi-mortalidad, constituyendo un factor de pronóstico independiente para la recurrencia. El tratamiento quirúrgico es la tiroidectomía total con vaciamiento profiláctico de los ganglios linfáticos centrales y eventualmente vaciamiento lateral de cuello según valoración preoperatoria, con posterior ablación postoperatoria de restos tiroideos mediante yodo radiactivo.


Papillary cancer constitutes approximately 80% of all thyroid cancer cases and 85% of differentiated tumors. The tall cell variant represents 1.3 to 12% of papillary cancers, being the most common aggressive variant of these tumors. It has an aggressive behavior, showing a higher incidence of extrathyroid and lymphovascular invasion and distant metastasis, responsible for higher recurrence rates and a worse prognosis. The cases reported here reflect characteristics that make us suspect tumor aggressiveness. These are female patients, between 40 and 70 years old, with a history of short evolution. They present locoregional symptoms or metastatic adenopathies, with ultrasound and intraoperative findings of relevance in terms of tumor aggressiveness that led to the suspicion of the presence of an aggressive variant of papillary cancer. The histopathology of the tall cell variant has a different molecular basis that confers its own morbidity and mortality, being an independent prognostic factor for recurrence. Total thyroidectomy is recommended with prophylactic dissection of the central lymph nodes and eventually lateral neck dissection according to preoperative evaluation followed by postoperative ablation with radioactive iodine.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of 25 hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] on postoperative parathyroid function in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) .Methods:426 patients who diagnosed as PTC and underwent at least total thyroidectomy plus central lymph node dissection (including lateral lymph node dissection) in Center of Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from Jun. 2017 to Sep. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 313 were women and 113 were men, they were divided into vitamin D deficient (VDD) group ( n=297) and normal group ( n=129) according to preoperative 25 (OH) D levels ≤ 20ng/ml and > 20ng/ml. SPSS 23.0 statistical software was used for data processing. Pearson χ2 test or Fisher exact test were used to compare the incidence of clinical hypoparathyroidism, biochemical temporary and biochemical permanent hypoparathyroidism between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the related factors of postoperative hypoparathyroidism between the two groups. Results:Preoperative 25 (OH) D level was significantly correlated with postoperative biochemical temporary hypoparathyroidism ( P=0.04, OR=1.11) . Compared with patients with adequate preoperative vitamin D, preoperative vitamin D deficiency increased the risk of biochemical transient hypoparathyroidism by 6.67 times ( P=0.03;OR=6.67) . There was no significant correlation between preoperative vitamin D deficiency and early postoperative clinical hypoparathyroidism (2.7% vs 3.9%, P=0.55) . Conclusion:Correction of vitamin D deficiency before operation may reduce the incidence of postoperative temporary hypoparathyroidism caused by 25 (OH) D deficiency.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the safety and feasibility of endoscopic level V lymph node dissection for thyroid cancer.Methods:Two cases undergoing level V lymph node dissection via breast combined with oral approach for papillary thyroid cancer in May. 2021 and Sep.2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary thyroid lesions and metastatic lymph nodes were diagnosed pathologically by fine needle aspiration before operation. The routine examination such as ultrasound, CT and laryngoscopy were completed before operation.Results:Both operations were successfully completed under endoscopy. In case 1, one lymph node was found in neck V region, and no metastatic lymph node was found. In case 2, 7 lymph nodes were found in cervical V region. No "shoulder syndrome" encompassing shoulder dysfunction and pain was found in either case.Conclusions:The study on the two cases reveals that level V dissection after the routine operation of endoscopic central and lateral neck dissection via breast combined with oral approach for papillary thyroid cancer is feasible and safe. More cases in further study were needed for to verify the finding.
