Introduction: In case of isolated adrenal metastases, complete surgical resection of the disease is a potentially curative treatment. Minimally invasive adrenalectomy is recommended in most patients with focal adrenal lesions without evidence of local invasion. However, data on surgical outcomes and survival after laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for adrenal metastases are still lacking to clearly define the role of this procedure in the management of metastatic disease. <p...

Effective treatment requires an accurate and early diagnosis, but sometimes the tumor is diagnosed relatively late, so it is absolutely necessary to respond quickly and effectively.Purpose: The aim of our study is to describe a patient with a history of medullary thyroid cancer who underwen...

Introduction: 18F- Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-PSMA PET/CT) is currently used in the evaluation of prostate cancer. Due to increased expression of PSMA in the neovascular endothelial cells of malignant lesions other than prostate cancer, PSMA PET/CT has become of interest to researchers in the management of thyroid cancer. The goal of this study was to evaluate the incidence and clinical signifi...
