What Is the Extent of Neck Dissection in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma?
Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a relatively rare thyroid cancer accounting for about 5% to 10% of all thyroid cancers.
Medical Surveillance Accounts for Excess Thyroid Cancers in Post-9/11 Firefighters
Increased rates of thyroid cancer among World Trade Center (WTC)-exposed firefighters and emergency medical service personnel who participated in rescue/recovery efforts after 9/11 are likely due to medical surveillance rather than an actual increase in disease. This is the conclusion of a recently published study in JAMA Internal Medicine (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2764101) in which investigators found excess […]
Letter: Association Between Incretin Mimetics and Medullary Thyroid Cancer

An expert panel reviewed the main changes to thryoid cancer management from molecular testing to surveillance in select cases, and from nerve monitoring to the choice between total thyroidectomy over hemi-thyroidectomy for certain tumors.
Does Mutational Analysis Influence the Management of Differentiated Thyroid Cancers?
It is evident that BRAF does predict recurrence and unfavorable characteristics in differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC).
Interplay of Factors Account for Rise in Thyroid Cancer Diagnoses
Most of the increase in incidence of thyroid cancer is related to factors that promote early diagnosis of low-risk lesions.
Changes in Thyroid Cancer Incidence Post-2009 ATA Guidelines
The rapid increase in thyroid cancer incidence rates over the past three decades has recently slowed
