Significats de follicular thyroid en anglès

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma often has lymph node metastasis, compared with follicular thyroid carcinoma.

The differential diagnostic of follicular thyroid adenomas and follicular thyroid carcinoma is a notorious challenge for pathologists.

The PI requires evaluation in all follicular thyroid carcinomas to identify poorly differentiated tumors with worse prognosis.

Thus, the value of octreotide as an antitumoral agent in follicular thyroid cancer must be critically questioned.

This was substantiated by the demonstration that pre-miR-199b reduced proliferation when added to cultured follicular thyroid carcinoma cells.

Five tumors were reclassified as poorly differentiated follicular thyroid carcinomas, representing 13% of carcinomas in this unselected material.

About 10% of follicular thyroid carcinoma shows multiple metastases: lung and bone are the most common sites of metastasis.

A case of multiple, functional bone metastases from a previously operated follicular thyroid carcinoma is reported in an apparently euthyroid patient.

Because of the distinctive histologic features, we propose naming this tumor follicular thyroid carcinoma with an unusual glomeruloid pattern of growth.

The ability to differentiate preoperatively between the malignant and benign forms of follicular thyroid tumors assumes greater importance in any clinical setting.

Case description: We present the case of a 70-year-old man with follicular thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the cervical spine causing spinal cord compression.

In conclusion, octreotide at low concentrations stimulates and at high concentrations inhibits the growth and invasion of follicular thyroid cancer cells in culture.

Patients and methods: We present the case of a 67-year-old woman, undergoing total thyroidectomy for follicular thyroid cancer with bone and lung metastasis.

The initial risk stratification has been completed, especially precising the risk of N1 patients, follicular thyroid cancers, and the prognostic impact of molecular markers.

Octreotide had also a dose-dependent biphasic effect on the invasion of FTC, inhibiting the invasion of all follicular thyroid cancer lines at high concentrations.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology, which is well established to be accurate for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, may be inconclusive for the follicular thyroid neoplasms.
