Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nearly 5% of thyroid nodules in adult patients are malignant. Thyroid cancer (TC) includes well-differentiated types, which show a good prognosis, and undifferentiated varieties with a poor prognosis. TCs can originate from follicular or parafollicular C cells.
Precision diagnosis (PD) addresses TC management considering that a correct diagnosis should be useful in choosing an appropriate treatment and therefore in increasing the chances of a favorable outcome. The objectives of PD are not only limited to the development of targeted therapies but also to the role played in the prevention and prediction of TC by assessing their risk of developing tumors. In addition, PD can monitor TC for epidemiological reporting and benefit from the artificial intelligence support.
Therefore, PD for TC represents collective research involving endocrinologists, surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, geneticists, epidemiologists, and computer scientists. Nevertheless, the technologies needed to assess PD are not equally accessible to all countries, highlighting a problem of health inequalities.
This Special Issue focuses on the contributions from different medical disciplines to achieve PC in TC cases, and on the effective applications of PD in common clinical practices of TC, without neglecting the issue of health inequalities.
