Presence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in patients with thyroid disease has been previously reported. However, co-existence of PTHPT and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has been reported very rarely, mainly in the form of isolated case reports. Since the pathophysiological mechanisms of the two diseases are theoretically quite different, no causal relation between these diseases has been inferred. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of PHTP in individu...

Introduction: Thyroglossal duct (TGD) carcinoma is an uncommon entity, diagnosed in patients undergoing evaluation of the neck for midline swelling, or incidentally after removal of a TGD cyst. Despite the presence of multiple publications on the topic, no systematic characterization of these tumors has been performed to date.Methods: We performed a systematic search for the term “Thyroglossal duct” in Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane databases on D...

Introduction: Use of supplements (VDS) and vitamin-D measurements have been rising in the recent past globally. Despite increasing intake, our observations reveal that a large percentage of the population remains deficient (VDD). We designed the present real-world study, to address this controversy.Methods: We collected data from patients attending our clinics between March 2014 and December 2022. We recorded our subjects’ gender, age, history of VD...

Introduction: Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is an important risk factor for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in surgical series, but the role of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) seems less clear in that regard. We designed the present study to evaluate that effect in our large patient population. Methods: We recruited subjects operated with total thyroidectomy in 4 sites (USA: 1, Greece: 3) during a period of 14 consecutive years. We gathered dat...

Introduction: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis raises the risk for thyroid cancer (TC) in surgical series, but the role of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) remains controversial in that regard. We designed the present study to evaluate the effect of preoperative TPO titers in the risk of DTC.Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, CENTRAand Scopus databases in November 2021 for the terms “thyroid cancer” and “TPO” or &...
