Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Thyroid Cancer: Types, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Management". This Special Issue delves into the complexities of this disease, covering its diverse types, ranging from papillary to anaplastic carcinomas. It highlights the often subtle symptoms that may precede diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of awareness and early detection. This Special Issue explores diagnostic modalities, including imaging and biopsy, crucial for accurate staging and subtype identification. Management strategies discussed encompass surgical resection, radioactive iodine therapy, hormone replacement, and innovative targeted therapies, tailored to individual patient needs and cancer characteristics. The goal is to improve outcomes and quality of life for thyroid cancer patients. We are interested in receiving contributions on the following topics:
The interplay with autoimmune thyroid disease;
The new WHO classification of thyroid conditions;
Molecular and genetic markers;
Multidisciplinary strategies of approach;
Collision tumours of the thyroid;
Post-pandemic updates in the field of thyroid cancer;
Genetic background: traditional and emergent testing;
RET pathogenic variants and multiple endocrine neoplasias;
BRAF mutation;
Pitfalls and challenges of the surgical approach in thyroid cancer, including the following:
- Post-operatory complications (hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, bleeding, seroma, hematoma, and neck scars);
- Less than total thyroidectomy;
- Robotic thyroidectomy;
- Axillary and trans-oral thyroidectomy.
Radioiodine use and radioiodine resistant cancer;
Particular populations: pregnancy, children, and the elderly;
Side effects of long-term TSH-suppressive therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer;
Iodination effects in global thyroid cancer presentation;
Updates in the anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Ultrasound, PET-CT, scintigraphy.
