Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy is an important complication that can be successfully treated by therapy, although it is not always easily managed in special circumstances such as in young persons or pregnant women.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRAF Mutations in Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas Inhibit Genes Involved in Iodine Metabolism
Cosimo Durante,Efisio Puxeddu,Elisabetta Ferretti,Roberta Morisi,Sonia Moretti,Rocco Bruno,Flavia Barbi,Nicola Avenia,Angela Scipioni,Antonella Verrienti,Emanuele Tosi,Antonio Cavaliere,Alberto Gulino,Sebastiano Filetti,Diego Russo +14 more
TL;DR: BRAF V600E mutation in PTCs is associated with reduced expression of key genes involved in iodine metabolism, which may alter the effectiveness of diagnostic and/or therapeutic use of radioiodine in BRAF-mut P TCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRAFV599E Mutation Is the Leading Genetic Event in Adult Sporadic Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas
Efisio Puxeddu,Sonia Moretti,Rossella Elisei,Cristina Romei,Raffaela Pascucci,Marco Martinelli,C. Marino,Nicola Avenia,Esther Diana Rossi,Guido Fadda,Antonio Cavaliere,Rodolfo Ribacchi,Alberto Falorni,Alfredo Pontecorvi,Furio Pacini,Aldo Pinchera,Fausto Santeusanio +16 more
TL;DR: The molecular genetic study of the BRAF gene showed the presence of a missense thymine to adenine transversion at nucleotide 1796, resulting in the V599E substitution, in 24 of 60 PTCs (40%), none of six follicular adenomas, and none of five follicular carcinomas or one anaplastic carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robotic resection compared with laparoscopic rectal resection for cancer: systematic review and meta-analysis of short-term outcome.
Stefano Trastulli,Eriberto Farinella,Roberto Cirocchi,Davide Cavaliere,Nicola Avenia,Francesco Sciannameo,Gullà N,Giuseppe Noya,Carlo Boselli +8 more
TL;DR: The study aimed to compare robotic rectal resection with laparoscopic rectum resection for cancer with little evidence in the literature on its use in rectal cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between B-RAFV600E mutation and clinico-pathologic parameters in papillary thyroid carcinoma: data from a multicentric Italian study and review of the literature.
Laura Fugazzola,Efisio Puxeddu,Nicola Avenia,Cristina Romei,Valentina Cirello,Antonio Cavaliere,Pinuccia Faviana,Deborah Mannavola,Sonia Moretti,Stefania Rossi,Mariangela Sculli,Valeria Bottici,Paolo Beck-Peccoz,Furio Pacini,Aldo Pinchera,Fausto Santeusanio,Rossella Elisei +16 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of B-RAF (V600E) is reported in the largest series of sporadic PTCs, including 260 cases from three different Italian referring centers, indicating that the prevalence of this genetic event lies around 38-40%.
