Trattamento chirurgico del carcinoma midollare della tiroide. Esperienza personale
2007
Introduction: Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a rare malignancy of the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Aim of our study is reporting retrospective analysis of our experience about the surgical treatment of MTC, especially pointing on limphadenectomy. Patients and methods: from January 2000 to March 2006, were performed 546 thyroidectomy, 6 of them for MTC (1.09%): 5 sporadic and 1 familiar. All the patients were operated with standard technique (total thyroidectomy) and submitted to endocrinologic and instrumental follow-up. Results: in our experience, we do not registered early or late complications as bleeding, laryngeal nerves lesions and parathyroid lesions or intra-po…
Immunomorphological Patterns of Chaperone System Components in Rare Thyroid Tumors with Promise as Biomarkers for Differential Diagnosis and Providin…

Hurthle cell (HC), anaplastic (AC), and medullary (MC) carcinomas are low frequency thyroid tumors that pose several challenges for physicians and pathologists due to the scarcity of cases, information, and histopathological images, especially in the many areas around the world in which sophisticated molecular and genetic diagnostic facilities are unavailable. It is, therefore, cogent to provide tools for microscopists to achieve accurate diagnosis, such as histopathological images with reliable biomarkers, which can help them to reach a differential diagnosis. We are investigating whether components of the chaperone system (CS), such as the molecular chaperones, can be considered dependabl…
