Thus, the value of octreotide as an antitumoral agent in follicularthyroidcancer must be critically questioned.
2
In conclusion, octreotide at low concentrations stimulates and at high concentrations inhibits the growth and invasion of follicularthyroidcancer cells in culture.
3
Patients and methods: We present the case of a 67-year-old woman, undergoing total thyroidectomy for follicularthyroidcancer with bone and lung metastasis.
4
Octreotide had also a dose-dependent biphasic effect on the invasion of FTC, inhibiting the invasion of all follicularthyroidcancer lines at high concentrations.
5
Of these patients, 24 had papillary thyroid cancer, 2 had follicularthyroidcancer, and 11 had Hurthle cell thyroid cancer.
6
Results: The 21 patients accounted for 0.33% of all 6308 patients, including twenty cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and one case of follicularthyroidcancer.
7
The initial risk stratification has been completed, especially precising the risk of N1 patients, follicularthyroidcancers, and the prognostic impact of molecular markers.
