2015 American Thyroid Association Management Guidelines for Adult Patients with Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: The American Thyroid Association Guidelines Task Force on Thyroid Nodules and Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

TLDR
Evidence-based recommendations are developed to inform clinical decision-making in the management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer and represent, in the authors' opinion, contemporary optimal care for patients with these disorders.
Abstract
Background: Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem, and differentiated thyroid cancer is becoming increasingly prevalent. Since the American Thyroid Association's (ATA's) guidelines for the management of these disorders were revised in 2009, significant scientific advances have occurred in the field. The aim of these guidelines is to inform clinicians, patients, researchers, and health policy makers on published evidence relating to the diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods: The specific clinical questions addressed in these guidelines were based on prior versions of the guidelines, stakeholder input, and input of task force members. Task force panel members were educated on knowledge synthesis methods, including electronic database searching, review and selection of relevant citations, and critical appraisal of selected studies. Published English language articles on adults were eligible for inclusion. The American College of Physicians Guideline Gr...

Differences in long-term quality of life between hemithyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy in patients treated for low-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

TL;DR: Long-term quality of life was not significantly different between low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer patients treated with total thyroidectomy compared with hemithyroidectomy, and the previously unreported impact of surgical regimen to the health-related quality-of-life for low- risk differentiated Thyroid Cancer patients is highlighted.

Complications of acromegaly: thyroid and colon

TL;DR: Thyroid micro-carcinomas are probably over-diagnosed among acromegalic patients and there is no sufficient data to suggest that colon cancer risk is higher in acromegaly compared to the general population.

Machine learning-based multiparametric MRI radiomics for predicting the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

TL;DR: This study showed that machine learning-based multiparametric MR imaging radiomics could accurately distinguish aggressive from non-aggressive PTC preoperatively, and may be helpful for informing treatment strategies and prognosis of patients with aggressive PTC.

The Role of Central Neck Lymph Node Dissection in the Management of Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

TL;DR: The potential utility of central neck lymph node dissection as well as the risks of performing this procedure are reviewed, and the potential of molecular testing to stratify patients who would most benefit from this procedure is reviewed.

Decision aids for people facing health treatment or screening decisions

TL;DR: Decision aids reduced the proportion of undecided participants and appeared to have a positive effect on patient-clinician communication, and those exposed to a decision aid were either equally or more satisfied with their decision, the decision-making process, and the preparation for decision making compared to usual care.
