Both the ATA 2015 and 2022 Polish guidelines allow sparing treatment in low-risk TC, nevertheless, most patients are qualified for total thyroidectomy.Material and method: The present study analyzed how often a TC patient opts for sparing treatment and the relationship between the size of the primary focus and ri...

Introduction: Systemic treatment of advanced progressing thyroid cancer (TC) is based on molecularly targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), mainly inhibitors targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR). Such treatment is related to numerous side effects. However, the relationship between TKIs and renal adverse events (RAEs) is unclear. VEGFR inhibitors are associated with proteinuria. In some patients, increased serum creatinine level and t...

Introduction: The question of whether pregnancy has any impact on the prognosis of differentiated thyroid cancer diagnosed in pregnant women was addressed mainly in retrospective analyses, which showed no significant differences in overall and progression-free survival between women diagnosed during pregnancy in comparison to women whose thyroid cancer diagnosis was unrelated to pregnancy. Thus, following the recent guidelines, watchful waiting is the preferred option, and sur...

Recently, we have witnessed an increase in the number of new thyroid cancer (TC) cases and thyroid surgeries. Both the ATA 2015 and 2022 Polish guidelines allow sparing treatment in low-risk TC. Nevertheless, most patients are qualified for total thyroidectomy. The aim of the study was to analyze the possibility of preoperative diagnosis of low-risk TC based on ultrasound examination (US).Material and method: A retrospective analysis involved 1043 patien...
