Introduction: Multiple cancers have been described more commonly in patients with diabetes, and some exhibit increased aggressiveness of the tumor as well. This association has been debated with regard to thyroid cancer. With this work, we aim to clarify whether type 2 diabetes (DM2) or autoimmunity-related diabetes (type 1 diabetes+LADA=DM1) could coexist with thyroid cancers more aggressive as compared to those found in unaffected (non-DM) individuals....

Introduction: In the thyroid gland, humoral immunity manifests with thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies. In our studies, when TPO concentrations increased, thyroid cancers of follicular origin (TCFO) tended to develop less frequently.1 Other studies, though, reported an opposite trend in less aggressive cancers. The present work was designed to characterize the differential role of TPO antibodies in aggressive forms of TCFO (AGG) as compared to non-aggressive (NAG) ...
