To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) for diagnosis malignancy in follicular lesions and to identify optimal SWE measurement plane.The institutional review board approved this HIPAA-compliant, single-institution, prospective pilot study. Subjects scheduled surgery after a previous fine-needle aspiration report "atypia undetermined significance" or "follicular lesion significance," "suspicion neoplasm," Hurthle cell were enrolled obtaining informed consent....
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare but aggressive endocrine tumor, and the prognostic factors associated with long-term outcomes after surgical resection remain poorly defined.To define clinicopathological variables recurrence-free survival (RFS) overall (OS) curative of ACC to propose nomograms for individual risk prediction.Nomograms predict RFS OS were proposed using multi-institutional cohort patients who underwent curative-intent surgery at 13 major institutions in United States...
IMPORTANCECommercial molecular testing, such as the gene expression classifier (GEC), is now being used in work up of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules.While this test may be helpful ruling out malignancy a nodule, its effect on surgical decision making has yet to fully defined.OBJECTIVE We aimed determine and outcome GEC results decision-making process for patients with nodules presenting consultation.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A management algorithm was developed that...
Background Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options beyond surgical resection. The characteristics of actual long‐term survivors following resection for ACC have not been previously reported. Method Patients who underwent at one 13 academic institutions participating in the US Carcinoma Group from 1993 to 2014 were analyzed. stratified into four groups: early mortality (died within 2 years), late 2–5 5‐year survivor (survived least 5...
Objective To review our surgical experience and the impact of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) testing among patients with normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism. Study Design Case series chart review. Setting Academic referral hospital. Subject Methods Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism (NCHPT) were identified normal‐range blood ionized calcium serum elevated hormone. Patient demographics, findings, IOPTH dynamics, biochemical outcomes compared those classic (PHPT) patients....
Despite intact recurrent laryngeal nerves, patient-reported voice and swallowing changes are common after thyroidectomy. The association between patient age or frailty status these is unknown. aim of this study was to evaluate the impact on incidence alterations thyroidectomy.We performed an institutional review board (IRB)-approved retrospective consecutive patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with intraoperative nerve (RLN) monitoring at a single institution January 2014 September...
Several different transcription factors, including estrogen receptor, progesterone and ETS family members, have been implicated in human breast cancer, indicating that factor-induced alterations gene expression underlie mammary cell transformation. ESE-1 is an epithelium-specific factor contains two distinguishing domains, a serine- aspartic acid-rich (SAR) domain AT hook domain. abundantly expressed cancer trans-activates promoters transient transfection assays. While it has presumed...
Objectives The robotic retroauricular approach and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular (TOETVA) have been employed to avoid anterior neck scarring in with good success. However, outcomes yet be compared between techniques. We compare our initial clinical experience these approaches for thyroid lobectomy at institution. Methods A review of consecutive patients who underwent facelift (RFT) (August 2011–August 2016) institution was conducted. This the same number TOETVA (September...
Diagnostic molecular testing is used in the workup of thyroid nodules. While these tests appear to be promising more definitively assigning a risk malignancy, their effect on surgical decision making has yet demonstrated.To investigate diagnostic profiling nodules decision-making process.A management algorithm was developed and published after peer review that incorporated individual Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology classifications with clinical, laboratory, radiological...
To evaluate conditional disease-free survival (CDFS) for patients who underwent curative intent surgery adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).ACC is a rare but aggressive tumor. Survival estimates are usually reported as from the time of surgery. CDFS may be more clinically relevant by accounting changing likelihood (DFS) according to elapsed after surgery.CDFS was assessed using multi-institutional cohort patients. Cox proportional hazards models were used factors associated with DFS. Three-year...
