Cell adhesion molecules, represented by the immunoglobulin family and selectins, play an important role in the progression of cancer. A correlation between selectins and tumor aggressiveness has been demonstrated in several reports.Eighty-eight patients (mean age, 41.0 ± 14 years) with papillary thyroid carcinoma (conventional variant and sized approximately 20 mm) were divided in 2 groups: 41 with...
We report the antineoplastic and anti-angiogenic activity of the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivative CLM3 and the cyclic amide CLM94, both multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), in human primary medullary thyroid cancer (P-MTC) cells, and in vitro in the medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) cell lines TT (harboring a RET C634W activating mutation) and MZ-CRC-1 (carrying the MEN2B RET mutation Met891Thr)...
Background. The effectiveness of minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) in papillary thyroid carcinoma is still debated. Some are concerned about this procedure in patients with thyroid cancer. This prospective study aimed to demonstrate that near-total thyroidectomy can be performed by MIVAT with similar results compared with open thyroidectomy. Methods. A total of 33 patients with...
Background. Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) may develop either in apparently normal glands (type II AIT) or in the presence of thyroid abnormalities (type I AIT). Sometimes AIT is resistant to conventional treatment. Thyroidectomy was used in patients with AIT, but in patients who are thyrotoxic it may be hazardous. Methods. Seven patients with AIT (6 type I and 1 type II, 5 men, 2 women,...
Background. Endoscopic procedures for thyroid surgery have been introduced since 1998, but their diffusion has remained limited because their advantages were never demonstrated. Methods. Forty-nine patients undergoing surgery for either a thyroid nodule or a small papillary carcinoma were allotted to 1 of these procedures, minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) or conventional thyroidectomy...
