Thyroid Gland Papillary Carcinoma

This is the first study to identify RET fusion positivity as an independent OLNM risk factor in cN0 PTC. The developed RF model demonstrates moderate predictive performance for OLNM risk and provides a framework for integrating clinical, sonographic, and molecular data, and is deployed as a web calculator (https://predictingoccultlymphnodemetastasis.shinyapps.io/web3/).

When two markers were combined, the AUC increased to 0.785 (sensitivity 70.6% and specificity 87.4%; P<0.001). Our results suggest that the combination of serum GAL-3 and Ki-67 may serve as a useful adjunct to existing diagnostic methods of thyroid cancer, such as ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB).

These findings support evaluation of translational strategies, such as CXCR4 inhibition, restoration of antigen presentation, and macrophage reprogramming, to convert "cold" tumors into immune-permissive lesions. Validation in larger, prospective, multicenter cohorts is required.

The analysis revealed an association between the BRAF V600E mutation and papillary thyroid cancer in patients exposed to radiation from nuclear testing at the former SNTS. These findings offer new prospects for targeted therapy and early diagnosis of malignant thyroid neoplasms. Following the closure of the test site, positive developments in public health have been observed: radiophobia has decreased and the population's quality of life has improved. Furthermore, the adoption of iodine prophylaxis legislation and the country's industrial growth have contributed to improved well-being and better epidemiological outcomes for thyroid cancer in subsequent generations.

The Myriapod NGS panel aids in the preoperative assessment of thyroid nodules. Its high negative predictive value may help avoid unnecessary surgery, whereas the detection of specific mutations strongly correlates with malignancy, thus informing surgical planning.

Despite this progress, further studies are needed to resolve context-dependent functional discrepancies, validate biomarker utility, and develop cell-specific delivery systems. This review provides a framework to understand its pathophysiologcial roles and potential application as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

Selective BRAF and MEK inhibitors-including vemurafenib, dabrafenib, and selumetinib-have demonstrated efficacy in advanced thyroid cancers. The combination of dabrafenib and trametinib is FDA-approved for BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) based on its significant survival benefits...Additionally, redifferentiation strategies using MAPK inhibitors to restore RAI avidity have shown promise, particularly in selected patients. These advances highlight the need to contextualize BRAF mutation status within a broader molecular and clinical framework to guide personalized, effective treatment strategies.

It exhibited strong binding affinities with VX-11e, irinotecan, and dactinomycin. Endothelial cells were identified as key cells; the occurrence of PTC reduced their quantity and affected the frequency/intensity of their interactions with mast cells. In conclusion, PTPN11 holds promise as a prognostic marker for PTC and is of great value for clinical management.

Retrospective analyses confirmed the mutation's association with elevated CLNM risk. These findings suggest that patients with PTC with TI-RADS ≥4a nodules and no radiologic cervical LNM may benefit from combined preoperative evaluation, including BRAF V600E testing via FNAC, enabling precise CLNM risk stratification and supporting individualized surgical planning.

Our study is the pioneering research to provide new insights into the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of PTC through the analysis of OSGs, presenting potential clinical implications. Furthermore, this research reveals the molecular functions associated with resveratrol and its pharmacological targets regulating OS in PTC for the first time.
