Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, representing approximately 4% of all new cancer cases. The prognosis and treatment of thyroid cancer depend on the tumor type and its stage at the time of diagnosis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve prognosis and reduce mortality. The well-established treatments (surgery and radioiodine) and new options (molecular targeting drugs) for patients with aggressive thyroid cancers have kept the mortality rate from this malignancy low, despite the increase in its incidence. This Special Issue will highlight the role of different diagnostic procedures (i.e., ultrasound, molecular imaging, laboratory, cytology, and molecular cytology), therapeutic approaches (i.e., surgery, theranostics, hormone therapy, non-invasive procedures, radiotherapy, molecular targeting drugs, redifferentiating agents), and prognostic markers in personalized thyroid cancer treatment.
