Introduction and Objective: Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine tumor with a growing incidence worldwide. However, diagnostics using ultrasound research methods do not allow to unambiguously determine the type of thyroid lesion and make a precise diagnosis in early stages. The results of recent studies indicate the metabolic changes occurring in cancer cells. Various molecular biomarkers and indices (TYG, TYG-BMI) may indicate the onset of development and progress...

Introduction: The choice of treatment for Graves’ disease (GD) requires a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition and the risk of recurrence. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of immunological and genetic markers with GD recurrence after antithyroid treatment.Methods: We conducted a case-control study. The study included 63 patients with GD who received antithyroid treatment. After at least 12 months of withdrawal...

Objective: Thyroid nodules are the most common thyroid disease and preoperative differentiation of benign and malignant lesions is an important diagnostic purpose. In about 1/3 cases FRA and cytological examination shows indeterminate diagnosis. Deregulation of miRNA expression has been described in a variety of tumors, including thyroid cancer. The aim of our study is to evaluate the association between miRNAs expression and risk of thyroid cancer in patients with thyroid nod...
