Impact of Routine Measurement of Serum Calcitonin on the Diagnosis and Outcome of Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Experience in 10,864 Patients with Nodular Thyroid Disorders
Rossella Elisei,Valeria Bottici,Fabiana Luchetti,Giancarlo Di Coscio,Cristina Romei,Lucia Grasso,Paolo Miccoli,Pietro Iacconi,Fulvio Basolo,Aldo Pinchera,Furio Pacini +10 more
TL;DR: This study confirms that MTC is not an infrequent finding among patients with thyroid nodules (nearly 1 in 250 patients) and allows the diagnosis and treatment of MTC at an earlier stage, resulting in a better outcome compared with MTC not detected by serum CT measurement.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spectrum of thyroid disorders in an iodine-deficient community: the Pescopagano survey.
Fabrizio Aghini-Lombardi,L Antonangeli,Enio Martino,Paolo Vitti,Maccherini D,Francesco Leoli,Teresa Rago,Lucia Grasso,Rocco Valeriano,Angelo Balestrieri,Aldo Pinchera +10 more
TL;DR: In the present survey of an iodine-deficient community, a progressive increase with age of goiter prevalence, thyroid nodularity, and functional autonomy was observed, twice as high as that reported in iodine-sufficient areas, mainly due to an increased frequency of toxic nodular goiter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant Human Thyrotropin-Stimulated Serum Thyroglobulin Combined with Neck Ultrasonography Has the Highest Sensitivity in Monitoring Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma
Furio Pacini,Eleonora Molinaro,Mg Castagna,Laura Agate,Rossella Elisei,C Ceccarelli,Francesco Lippi,D Taddei,Lucia Grasso,Aldo Pinchera +9 more
TL;DR: The rhTSH-stimulated Tg test combined with neck ultrasonography has the highest diagnostic accuracy in detecting persistent disease in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disappearance of humoral thyroid autoimmunity after complete removal of thyroid antigens.
Luca Chiovato,Francesco Latrofa,Lewis E. Braverman,Furio Pacini,Marco Capezzone,Lucio Masserini,Lucia Grasso,Aldo Pinchera +7 more
TL;DR: A large group of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma who had serum thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, or TSH-receptor antibodies due to coexistent thyroid autoimmune disease were studied, finding gradual disappearance of antibodies gradually disappeared in most patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Mutation of SECISBP2 is associated with a multisystem disorder with defective biosynthesis of many selenoproteins, highlighting their role in diverse biological processes.
