Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid cancer is indolent, and affects more women than all other endocrine malignancies combined. However, follicular-derived carcinoma was determined as high risk in the WHO classification of endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors (5th edition). It is important to differentiate low-risk neoplasms and low-risk carcinoma from high-risk thyroid carcinoma, because there are significant differences between the clinical treatment of these tumor entities. Thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy is likely to be the best method to confirm most of the malignancy pre-surgery. Molecular detection is also available for diagnosis, risk stratification, and targeted therapy pre- and post-surgery. The forthcoming Special Issue focuses on the advances in thyroid carcinoma, including the following topics:
Risk factors for thyroid carcinoma.
Markers and new genes associated with thyroid cancer.
Morphological and genetic features of low-risk thyroid neoplasms, and low-grade and high-grade thyroid carcinoma.
Treatment related to thyroid cancer, including follicular-derived and C-cell-derived carcinoma.
Predictors of treatment responses.
Therapies and precision therapies for thyroid cancer.
Diagnostic tools: strengths and limitations.
International variations in thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Determining thyroid cancer risk by using tests for the general population.
Mitigating risk of thyroid cancer surgically or medically.
