A multivariable logistic regression model was built to assess the relationship between histology outcomes and clinical variables, including nodule discovery by palpation, ultrasound risk categories, maximum nodule size, Bethesda category, Bethesda atypia, and ThyroSPEC categories. A total of 332 out of 1024 patients who underwent surgery and had complete data for all variables were included in the model. A nomogram was subsequently developed based on the model. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The model achieved a cross-validated AUC of 0.831 (95% confidence intervals: 0.787-0.874). Patients with high-risk mutations or malignant molecular markers exhibited significantly higher odds (152.79 times) of malignancy compared to those with mutation-negative or benign molecular marker results. Patients with maximum nodule size >5 cm have 4.34 times higher odds of malignancy than those 0-2 cm. The presence of nuclear atypia increased the odds of malignancy by 4.26 times, while ultrasound malignancy risk category 5 increased the odds of malignancy by 2.89 times compared to categories 1-3. Positive palpation discovery increased the odds by 1.83 times. The integrated ROM estimated from the regression model is significantly associated with the surgery type (<i>p</i> < 0.001). In the low (0-30%) and intermediate ROM (31-70%) categories, lobectomy alone is the most common surgery (61% and 70%, respectively), while in the high ROM (>70%) category, total thyroidectomy dominates (62%). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Although MT alone played an important role in decision-making regarding surveillance versus surgery in our study population, integrating MT results with additional clinical variables improved the malignancy risk prediction for ITNs.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as an effective and safe therapeutic option for managing AFTNs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of RFA for solitary AFTNs in various countries across Latin America. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This retrospective, observational, multicenter cohort study included patients with a solitary AFTN that was histologically confirmed as benign and treated with a single session of RFA. The study included an analysis of patient demographics, sonographic characteristics of the nodules, thyroid profile assessment at each follow-up visit, evaluation of clinical symptoms to determine the achievement of a euthyroid state, and the measurement of nodule volume reduction. In addition, a bivariate analysis was conducted to identify associations between these variables and the resolution of hyperthyroidism. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Our study enrolled 81 patients with a solitary, benign AFTN. The volume reduction ratio (VRR) consistently increased over the follow-up period, with medians of -50%, -74.9%, -78.4%, and -90.2% at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. The rate of resolution of hyperthyroidism was 93.8% (76/81). Following the RFA procedure, 58.02% of patients (47/81) normalized their thyrotropin levels within 1 month of follow-up, and by 3 months, an additional 33.3% had achieved normalization (27/81). Notably, a baseline volume ≥10, 20, or 30 mL did not affect the achievement of clinical success. In bivariate analyses, a VRR ≥50% at the 6-month follow-up was associated with the resolution of hyperthyroidism.

It is disfiguring, can threaten vision, and represents an autoimmune process closely associated with thyroid disease. Unambiguous connections linking TAO to the glandular maladies of Graves' disease (GD) remain incompletely clarified. Detecting the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) in periocular tissues suggests that this cell-surface protein represents a shared autoantigen with the thyroid gland, but we now know that its expression is ubiquitous. Most patients with TAO have relatively high circulating levels of activating anti-TSHR autoantibodies. Emerging more recently is the importance of insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) in the pathogenesis of TAO. The TSHR/IGF-IR signaling complex apparently drives circulating fibrocytes and the unique phenotypes of fibroblasts inhabiting the TAO orbit (GD-OF). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The PubMed database was scanned for articles dating back to the earliest time periods covered. Keywords used for primary searches included thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, Graves' orbitopathy, TED, orbit, TSH receptor, IGF-I receptor, and autoimmune thyroid disease. Secondary searches used numerous other search terms. <b><i>Results:</i></b> GD-OF have been characterized extensively as being particularly responsive to the immunological factors and key effectors in TAO pathogenesis. Both TSHR and IGF-IR are overexpressed by GD-OF and CD34<sup>+</sup> fibrocytes and form a signaling complex. They are activated through this TSHR/IGF-IR complex to produce large amounts of hyaluronan and express multiple cytokines. This complex mediates cellular responses to pathogenic IgGs in TAO. CD34<sup>+</sup> fibrocytes and CD34<sup>+</sup> OF also express relatively high levels of multiple thyroid autoantigens. Identifying IGF-IR as a key component of a receptor complex and its intertwining signaling activities with those of TSHR has led to a targeted medical therapy for TAO. This therapy involves the selective systemic inhibition of IGF-IR. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Much has been learned over the preceding decades about the pathogenesis of TAO. Among these is the identification of IGF-IR as a pivotal component underpinning the disease. This has led directly to development of an effective targeted therapy. Important gaps in our understanding persist, and current therapies have limitations. Thus, despite these advancements, considerably more remains to be achieved.</p>","PeriodicalId":23016,"journal":{"name":"Thyroid","volume":" ","pages":"232-244"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the outcome of GO following glucocorticoids, depending on the chosen thyroid treatment. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This retrospective cohort study included 49 consecutive patients with GH and moderate-to-severe, active GO, as defined by the European Group on Graves' Orbitopathy guidelines. Twenty-four patients were treated with radioactive iodine (RAI) and 25 with methimazole (MMI). All patients were administered intravenous methylprednisolone. Follow-up visits occurred at weeks 24, 48, and 72. The primary endpoint was the overall outcome of GO at week 24. Response was defined as a change in at least two of the following eye features: reduction ≥1 point in clinical activity score; proptosis reduction ≥2 mm; eyelid aperture reduction ≥2 mm; increase in eye ductions ≥8 degrees. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Follow-up duration was 72 weeks for both groups (interquartile range 66-72 for RAI and 48-72 for MMI). The proportion of responders for week 24 overall GO outcome was greater in RAI (54.1% vs. 16%; odds ratio [OR] 6.2 [confidence interval (CI): 1.6-23.6], <i>p</i> = 0.0075), but it increased in MMI at weeks 48 and 72, with no differences between groups. There was a trend indicating a better response in RAI regarding individual eye features. Improvement in GO-specific quality of life questionnaire at week 24 was trendily more pronounced in RAI (responders 50% vs. 28% in MMI; OR = 2.5 [CI: 0.7-8.4], <i>p</i> = 0.11), although results were similar in both groups at later time points. At week 24, only one patient (4%) in RAI and three (12%) in MMI experienced worsening of GO. Fifty-nine adverse events were recorded among 36 patients, with no differences between groups, except for infections, which were more frequent in RAI (53.8% vs. 15.3% in MMI; OR = 6.41 [CI: 1.7-23.9], <i>p</i> = 0.0056). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> RAI appears to be associated with an earlier response of GO to intravenous glucocorticoids. In the long term, a conservative approach also seems to be effective. RAI appears to be relatively safe when patients are concurrently treated with glucocorticoids. However, randomized clinical trials are necessary to confirm these findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":23016,"journal":{"name":"Thyroid","volume":" ","pages":"298-306"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143256668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
