This month's issue of Clinical Thyroidology includes several special highlights that are not to be missed. First, we begin with the next fireside chat in the American Thyroid Association's continuing series celebrating our centennial anniversary. In this discussion, Drs. Victor Bernet and Anne Cappola reflect on their thoughts and perspectives on the topic of thyroid hormone use and abuse, framed in the history of the development of thyroid hormone replacement. Then, as part of our ongoing collaboration with the International Thyroid Oncology Group (ITOG), in an editorial Drs. Laura Boucai, Ashish Chintakuntlawar, and David Shonka, Jr., give a brief summary of the ITOG community and its past and current work in coordinating the group's available clinical trials of various advanced thyroid cancers. I hope that this excellent summary is helpful to clinicians worldwide who are managing the care of patients with metastatic or advanced disease.Moving on to the topic of pediatric thyroid disease, Dr. Gary Francis reviews a study on serum thyroid function tests in children with Down syndrome. Drs. Maryam Makowski and Elizabeth McAninch then provide their perspective on a study examining low T3 syndrome in malnourished hospitalized patients, while Dr. Anupam Kotwal reviews a study reporting a real-world experience with teprotumumab and tocilizumab use in patients with moderate-to-severe steroid-resistant thyroid eye disease.On the topic of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, Drs. Kristen HoSang and Lindsay Kuo review a study assessing the role of age in patients who undergo active surveillance of small, sonographically low-risk thyroid nodules. Meanwhile, Drs. Jessica Bindra, Matti Gild, and Venessa Tsang examine a study reporting the benefit of preoperative molecular testing of cytologically high-risk thyroid nodules, while Drs. Paul Stewardson and Mayumi Endo review how the allelic frequency of BRAF V600E and TERT promoter mutations in thyroid nodules may be a useful predictor of malignancy. The potential benefit of microwave ablation for the treatment of select micropapillary thyroid cancers is reviewed by Dr. Jie Liu. Dr. Sara Ahmadi discusses a recent study on the comparison of diffuse sclerosing, classic, and tall-cell variant papillary thyroid cancers. Finally, Drs. Ricardo Villela and Ricardo Correa summarize a recent study examining the adverse effects of radioactive iodine ablation on the lacrimal and salivary glands.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.
