Journal ArticleDOI
Lower levels of TSH are associated with a lower risk of papillary thyroid cancer in patients with thyroid nodular disease: thyroid autonomy may play a protective role
Emilio Fiore,Teresa Rago,Maria Annateresa Provenzale,M Scutari,Clara Ugolini,Fulvio Basolo,G. Di Coscio,Piero Berti,Lucia Grasso,Rossella Elisei,Aldo Pinchera,P Vitti +11 more
TL;DR: The data confirm a direct relationship between TSH levels and risk of PTC in patients with nodular thyroid diseases and the presence of thyroid auto-antibodies (TAb) was associated with a significant increase of TSH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma: role of TSH and of treatment with l-thyroxine
Emilio Fiore,Teresa Rago,Francesco Latrofa,Maria Annateresa Provenzale,Paolo Piaggi,Alessandro P Delitala,M Scutari,Fulvio Basolo,G. Di Coscio,Lucia Grasso,Aldo Pinchera,P Vitti +11 more
TL;DR: The frequency of PTC is significantly higher in nodular-HT than in NG and is associated with increased levels of serum TSH, and treatment with L-T4 reduces TSH levels and decreases the occurrence of clinically detectable PTC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Iodine Contributes to Thyroid Autoimmunity in Humans by Unmasking a Cryptic Epitope on Thyroglobulin
Francesco Latrofa,Emilio Fiore,Teresa Rago,L Antonangeli,Lucia Montanelli,Debora Ricci,Maria Annateresa Provenzale,M Scutari,M. Frigeri,Massimo Tonacchera,Paolo Vitti +10 more
TL;DR: Iodine-induced thyroid autoimmunity is related to TgAb and the unmasking of a cryptic epitope on Tg contributes to this relationship in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
L-thyroxine-treated patients with nodular goiter have lower serum TSH and lower frequency of papillary thyroid cancer: results of a cross-sectional study on 27 914 patients
Emilio Fiore,Teresa Rago,Maria Annateresa Provenzale,M Scutari,Clara Ugolini,Fulvio Basolo,G. Di Coscio,Paolo Miccoli,Lucia Grasso,Aldo Pinchera,P Vitti +10 more
TL;DR: Patients with nodular goiter, treatment with L-T(4) is responsible for the reduction of serum TSH and is associated with a decreased frequency of PTC, which was unrelated to the type of nodularity and was not age dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Incidental" and "non-incidental" thyroid papillary microcarcinomas are two different entities.

TL;DR: Incidental and non-incidental papillary thyroid microcarcinomas appear to be two different entities.
