“…Varios estudios para evaluar el efecto de estrógeno y otras hormonas sexuales y asociarlo con el cáncer roideo mostraron resultados heterogéneos (8,9). Referente a los factores gené cos existen varias condiciones hereditarias que están conectados con el cáncer roideo, aunque en la mayoría de los canceres roides no se encuentre ninguna historia familiar de la enfermedad o factores hereditarios (10). La dieta baja en yodo parece ser un factor de riesgo, ya que en regiones en donde la inges ón de yodo es disminuido los canceres roideos son más comunes.…”

El cáncer tiroideo es una patología frecuente en Ecuador por lo que es necesario determinar sus factores de riesgo, ya que esto ayudaría a diagnosticar esta patología tempranamente. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar factores de riesgo de cáncer tiroideo en pacientes sometidos a tiroidectomía en el “Hospital del Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social (IESS)”. Para ello, se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal usando datos obtenidos de las historias clínicas de los pacientes. En total se incluyeron 101 pacientes. Nuestros hallazgos indican que existe una alta prevalencia (52%) de cáncer tiroideo, en particular carcinoma papilar de patrón convencional, que representó al rededor del 65% de casos positivos. Diferencias en cuanto a edad, hipoecogenicidad y calcificaciones ecográficas de nódulos tiroideos según el Thyroid Image Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) y el diagnóstico por Punción Aspiración con Aguja Fina (PAAF) fueron determinantes en el diagnóstico de cáncer tiroideo. Se evidenció además que la asociación rango de edad y TIRADS proporciona alta sensibilidad y especificidad para diagnosticar cáncer tiroideo por lo que se recomienda su uso conjunto en Atención Primaria de Salud. La realización de exámenes tiroideos y screaning a través de TIRADS es muy útil en el diagnóstico de cáncer tiroideo, especialmente en menores de 50 años.

“…Except for the features of tumour, in recent years, several new methods have been found promising to predict the prognosis of MTC patients, such as liquid biopsy (circulating tumour nucleic acids, circulating tumour cells, and extracellular vesicles) and procalcitonin. 21,22 Though relevant reports are still scarce, their advantages have already been demonstrated, including repeatedly performed in a noninvasive way, at lower cost and without the risks associated to the classic tissue biopsy.…”

Background: The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumour, node, and metastasis staging system did not take T stage into consideration when evaluating Stage IV C medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical outcomes and implications of T stage in this population. Methods: Eligible patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database and the Department of Thyroid Surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and who were diagnosed with Stage IV C MTC were included in this study. The overall survival (OS), the cancer-specific survival (CSS), and the precise cause of MTC-induced death were analysed. The potential risk factors, including the T stage, in the OS and CSS were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Cox regression models.Results: This retrospective study enroled 204 Stage IV C MTC patients. The 5-and 10-year OS rates were 31.8% and 17.1%, respectively, and the 5-and 10-year CSS rates were 40.4% and 22.5%, respectively. More importantly, the rates of MTCinduced death between primary or distant metastatic lesions in Stage IV C MTC patients were comparable in our institution. Additionally, the univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that the presence of an advanced T stage was an independent prognostic factor for both the OS (T4 vs. T1-T3, hazard ratio [HR]:
