Concetto Regalbuto

TL;DR: The increased incidence of thyroid cancer is most likely due to a combination of an apparent increase due to more sensitive diagnostic procedures and of a true increase, a possible consequence of increased population exposure to radiation and to other still unrecognized carcinogens.

TL;DR: It is indicated that thyroid cancer risk in a patient with a nodular goiter varies markedly according to iodine intake, sex, age, and age but not in relation to multinodularity, as assessed by clinical examination.

TL;DR: Baseline histopathological characteristics and serum Tg levels off l-T(4) at first postsurgical evaluation can accurately predict the risk of relapse in small papillary thyroid cancers.

TL;DR: Basal Tg, measured using a second-generation Tg assay allows for the identification of DTC patients who are likely to remain disease free with great accuracy and may be sufficient to assess the risk-adapted management of D TC patients.

TL;DR: In both registries, more than 35% of PTMCs exhibited 2 or more risk factors, suggesting that they may require surgery and follow-up similar to that of larger carcinomas, and within Sicily, the incidence is twice as high in the volcanic area.
