3 days ago · What types of cancer can be treated with theranostics? One of the oldest, tried-and-true theranostics still commonly used today is a pair of radioactive iodine tracers for thyroid cancer. We've performed this procedure successfully for decades and it remains an important part of our tool box for treating thyroid cancer.
- Theranostics is a two-pronged approach to diagnosing and treating cancers through the use of radiotracers. Radiotracers are compounds made of radia...
- A radiotracer consists of two pieces: one half is the biologic side that travels through the blood to bind to a unique, designated target – in this...
- Today, theranostics is an option available for metastatic disease that fails to respond well to established systemic therapies such as conventional...

- Theranostic treatments in general do not cure cancer, but they do extend the length and quality of life for people who may need other treatment opt...
- Because your body is exposed to radiation – even though this radiation is highly targeted – this can slightly increase your chance of developing ot...
- Patients first receive an intravenous injection containing the radiotracer in either their arm or hand. This liquid, chemical compound is administe...
- UChicago Medicine physicians and scientists are leaders in both the development and administration of theranostic procedures and are actively condu...
1 day ago · Results. From 1975 to 2019, a total of 91,071 patients with primary thyroid cancer were recorded. The SIR of thyroid cancer in the natural population was 0.94/10,000, with a prevalence of 1.36 ...
1 day ago · There were 45 samples with a corresponding malignant or noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) histopathology diagnosis: 24 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC), 13 NIFTP, five follicular variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FvPTC), and three follicular carcinomas (FC).
4 days ago · Low-risk indeterminate lesions: repeat FNA and review with experienced cytopathologist; consider core-needle biopsy. Consider molecular testing: if benign, monitor nodule; if not informative, consider surgery for definitive diagnosis; if suggestive of malignancy, consider surgery for definitive diagnosis and treatment.

3 days ago · Background Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly aggressive malignancy that has consistently shown Wnt/β-catenin (canonical) signaling activation in various study populations. There are currently no targetable treatments for BRAF-wildtype ATC and a lack of effective treatment for BRAFV600EATC. Our aim is to identify whether Wnt inhibitors could be potential therapeutic agents for ATC ...
2 days ago · Background: Diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma is not always straight forward on haematoxylin and eosin staining since nuclear features are inconsistent, overlapping and controversial. In regards to this, many studies on the role of immunohistochemical markers for diagnosis of malignant thyroid carcinoma are needed.
