The optimal extent of surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer may not be well recognized initially. Identification of intermediate-risk features on surgical pathology may prompt the need for completion thyroidectomy if a lobectomy is performed. In this study, we examined the factors in relation to the need for completion thyroidectomy. We studied consecutive patients who underwent thyroidectomy...
Carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9) is a well-established marker to monitor disease status after resection of pancreatic cancer. However, few serum markers have been reported to improve the prognostic ability of postoperative CA19-9, especially in patients with normal postoperative CA19-9.A total of 353 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treated by radical resection were reviewed retrospectively,...
Development of a postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the single most significant complication of pancreatic anastomosis, which is a key procedure in pancreaticoduodenectomy. We previously reported a new papillary-like pancreaticojejunostomy, and a retrospective study showed a benefit in reducing the incidence of grade B/C POPF compared with duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy. The aim of...
The parathyroidectomy assessment of symptoms (PAS) score was designed initially for primary hyperparathyroidism to provide a specific symptom assessment and was validated later in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The aim of our study was to evaluate changes in the PAS scores and quality of life before and after parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism.This prospective study included...
Epidemiologic studies have shown that obesity is associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived cytokine, can act as a growth factor on certain normal and transformed cells. Aberrant expression of leptin or leptin receptor has been detected in some types of cancer. The aim of this study is to determine immunohistochemical expression of leptin and leptin receptor...
