Introduction: Transoral Robotic Thyroidectomy (TORT) is progressively gaining its ground in robotic thyroid surgery. With accumulated techniques and developments, TORT can also be applied for completion thyroidectomy. We review our experience with the transoral robotic approach to completion thyroidectomy to evaluate the safety and surgical feasibility.Methods: Consecutive patients receiving completion TORT operation were evaluated from a prospective dat...

Objectives: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated stunning effects in many cancer types albeit its immune-related adverse outcomes such as hypophysitis, adrenalitis, and thyroiditis. Despite the significant increase in ICIs use in Korea, there still is a lack of clarification about the actual prevalence and risk factors of ICI-associated thyroid diseases.Methods: In this nationwide cohort study, 12,079 lung cancer patients were extrapolat...

Objectives: Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy has potential therapeutic effects in treating Graves’ disease (GD). However, whether RAI therapy for GD can increase cancer risk remains a controversial issue in medicine and public health.Methods: Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Health Information Database (NHIS-NHID, 2002–2020), we investigated hazard ratios (HRs) of overall and site-specific cancer associated with RAI i...
