I'm pleased to share another issue of Clinical Thyroidology, as we continue to cover the newest and most impactful studies in the clinical thyroid literature. This issue begins with the next piece in the American Thyroid Association's (ATA) fireside chat series, prepared in celebration of the society's centennial anniversary this year. This was an interesting interview between Drs. Xiaoyin “Sara” Jiang and Ronald Ghossein on the history of thyroid cancer surgical pathology, as transcribed from their recent discussion published in our sister journal, Video Endocrinology. I invite everyone to read (and listen to) this thoughtful discussion regarding the advances made and remaining unresolved issues in the field of thyroid cancer surgical pathology.On the topic of thyroid dysfunction, Dr. Elizabeth McAninch reviews a study providing updated estimates on the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the United States, while Dr. Omar El Kawkgi summarizes a randomized controlled trial on the use of vitamin D2 supplementation in patients with Graves’ disease.The continuing clinical question of whether or not NIFTP is a malignancy is addressed in a review by Drs. Elizabeth Jacobi and Trisha Cubb, who summarize the experience recently reported by a large referral center. Dr. Joanna Klubo-Gwiezdzinska examines the outcomes of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules in an international cohort study, as informed by the delay in care incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Lindsay Bischoff describes a study that investigated the oncologic outcomes of children, adolescents, and young adults with papillary thyroid cancer, while Dr. Sara Ahmadi reviews the concerns of infertility and pregnancy in patients with papillary thyroid cancer from an Israeli epidemiologic study. An update of the Kuma Hospital experience, summarizing the longest prospective data we have of patients who undergo active surveillance for low-risk papillary thyroid cancers, is reviewed by Dr. Theodora Pappa. In a related study, Drs. Eleanor White, Venessa Tsang, and Matti Gild describe a study that assessed the anxiety levels of patients who undergo active surveillance of these cancers. Dr. Jie Liu examines a study that investigated the predictors of recurrence in low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. The issue concludes with a review by Drs. Terry Gao and Lindsay Kuo, who provide their perspective on an interesting study examining the surgical outcomes of older patients (octogenarians) who undergo thyroid surgery.I invite everyone to visit our various social media channels, where we recap the featured highlights from each month's issue and discuss other topics related to the latest clinical thyroid literature.
