Objective To explore the progress of diagnosis and treatment for differentiated thyroid carcinoma （DTC） in pregnancy. Methods The literatures on studying the diagnosis and treatment of DTC in pregnancy were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Results Radionuclide scanning and radioiodine （131I） administration during pregnancy were contraindicated. Surgery during the second trimester was considered safe. Monitoring of pregnancy must be strict during each trimester if surgery was delayed until after delivery. Conclusions Pregnancy makes the diagnosis and treatment of DTC become more complicated，the diagnosis and treatment of DTC during pregnancy present a challenging situation for the endocrinologists，surgeon，and obstetrician.
ObjectiveTo summarize the progress of diagnosis and treatment in male breast cancer.
MethodsThe literatures about the research progress of diagnosis and treatment in male breast cancer were reviewed.
ResultsThe diagnosis of male breast cancer relied mainly on clinical manifestations and imaging manifestations, the main treatment of male breast cancer was modified radical operation, combining with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and targeted therapy.
ConclusionsThe treatment of male breast cancer is mainly reference the treatment of female breast cancer, which is lack of a clear standard of treatment. Indepth study on the molecular genetic level will provide more accurate care decisions for the treatment of male breast cancer.
Objective
To summarize the advanced researchs of autoimmune thyroid disease(ATD) complicated with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
Methods
The related literatures about concurrent ATD and DTC were consulted and reviewed.
Results
Hashimoto diseas (HD) complicated with DTC at home and abroad were reported more and more, whether merging with HD or other ATD disease could affect the prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) was a controversial topic. HD and DTC (mainly PTC) had some same epidemiological and molecular features.
Conclusion
Better understanding of clinical pathology and characteristic of DTC concurrent with ATD can provide some new insights to immunotherapy for DTC.
ObjectiveTo explore the significance of thyroglobulin in the evaluation of lymph node metastasis during the treatment and follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.MethodThe literatures about thyroid globulin evaluation of lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma were collected through online database and summarized.ResultsThe determination of thyroglobulin played an important role in the perioperative evaluation of lymph node metastasis in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, the guidance of postoperative radiotherapy for metastasis, and the monitoring of recurrence and metastasis, and thyroglobulin combined with imaging examination could improve its evaluation efficiency.ConclusionsThyroglobulin is an important marker for the evaluation of lymph node metastasis in the treatment and follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Combination between thyroglobulin and imaging examination or other laboratory indicators to comprehensively explore its diagnostic threshold is a new idea, that can improve its value in the evaluation of lymph node metastasis.
