Background: Differentiated Thyroid Carcinomas (DTC) represent more than 90% of thyroid tumors with good prognosis and long survival. Currently, patients with intermediate/high risk nodule as assessed by cytological staging may undergo surgery. According to ATA 2017 guidelines, all patients presenting thyroid nodules with suspicious ultrasound features (hypoechoic pattern, irregular margins, microcalcifications, etc.) and cytopathology TIR3B, TIR4 or TIR5 according to 2014-SIAP...

Background: Cell senescence is characterized by halted cell proliferation and the acquisition of a pro-inflammatory profile. Cancer cells can enter into senescent state following treatments that inflict DNA damage. Intriguingly, these cells can evade the senescent state, gaining enhanced proliferative capabilities and resistance to further treatment, thereby prompting tumor recurrence. Senolytics offer the potential to eradicate selectively senescent cells, preventing tumor re...
