Summary: This study aimed to construct a nomogram that predicts central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in T1-T2 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients without lateral lymph node metastases (LLNM). The nomogram showed good accuracy and applicability in predicting CLNM in both internal and external validation.

Summary: This study identified risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in multifocality papillary thyroid cancer (MPTC), including gender, extrathyroidal extension (ETE), age, maximal axial diameter (MAD), and the sum of axial diameters (SAD). Patients with these risk factors were recommended to undergo prophylactic central lymph node dissection (CLND). Additionally, CLNM, ETE, MAD, and SAD were found to be independent risk factors for lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in MPTC.

Summary: Axillary lymph node metastasis from both breast cancer and thyroid cancer is rare, and the etiology behind this phenomenon is not well understood. Genetic disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone receptors may be relevant. Adjuvant therapy and surgery treatment should be carefully considered for this kind of case.

Summary: This study aimed to construct a clinical nomogram to predict lymph node metastasis in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The results showed a significant correlation between high immune scores and higher lymph node metastasis risk in PTC patients. Immune score-based prognostic nomograms may help to predict lymph node metastasis and have potential clinical application possibilities.

Summary: High serum thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) level, lower tumor location, irregular margin of CLN, and micro-calcification in the CLN were significantly associated with CLN metastasis in PTC patients with HT. An individualized nomogram with a favorable C-index of 0.815 was established, which may help surgeons manage the CLN in this subpopulation.

Summary: Young age, tumor size, and lymphatic invasion are significant predictors of recurrence in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma; lymphocytic thyroiditis reduces MLNR in female patients; different cutoffs for MLNR should be applied based on the presence of lymphocytic thyroiditis.

Summary: In this study, a deep multimodal learning network was developed to predict lymph node metastasis in primary thyroid cancer patients, incorporating more clinical context and exploring interpretable patterns. The proposed network achieved high accuracy in independent validation sets and outperformed single-modality networks. Additionally, the network mainly relied on image modalities rather than clinical records in making predictions.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of Delphian lymph node (DLN) metastasis for predicting central lymph node (CLN) metastasis and lateral lymph node (LLN) metastasis. The results showed that DLN metastasis had moderate predictive ability for CLN and LLN metastasis and was associated with specific clinicopathological characteristics.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the plasma N-glycomic changes in patients with TC or BTN for the first time, determining several N-glycan biomarkers with potential for differential diagnosis and risk assessment of lymph node metastasis. These findings enhance the understanding of TC.

Summary: The study proposes a deep-learning framework to analyze lymph node whole-slide images, identifying lymph nodes and tumor regions, and revealing the importance of the tumor-area-to-MLN-area ratio (T/MLN) in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

Summary: The study reveals a significant association between the BRAF V600E gene and mortality risk associated with lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer. For patients with wild-type BRAF, the impact of lymph node metastasis on mortality rate is relatively minor, while those with BRAF V600E mutation show a significantly increased risk of mortality.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of age on lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and found that age is significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and high-volume lymph node metastasis. Patients with N1b disease or high-volume lymph node metastasis and age over 45 have significantly shorter cancer-specific survival. Therefore, age can be an important guide for determining treatment strategies in PTC.

Summary: Lung cancer has high morbidity and mortality rates, with tumor metastasis being a significant risk factor for death. Even after complete removal of a tumor at an early stage, there is still a risk of recurrence. Lymph node micrometastasis has been found to be associated with poor prognosis, but predicting prognosis and choosing the appropriate surgical and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy options remain challenging for clinicians.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of lymph node ratio (LNR) on postoperative thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The results showed that LNR was independently associated with postoperative Tg levels, and patients with high LNR were more likely to have incomplete biochemical responses after surgery.

Summary: The study aimed to classify pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) into genetic subtypes and investigate the correlation between mutation subtype classification and the risk of metastasis and response to initial therapy. The results showed that mutation-based subtype classification accurately reflects clinical behavior, with patients carrying RET/NTRK fusions having worse outcomes.

Summary: Differentiated thyroid cancer and breast cancer, predominantly affecting women, share hormonal connections. The breast is responsive to thyroid hormone signaling and the thyroid is responsive to estrogen, leading to cancer progression. Obesity-related adipocyte alterations and environmental toxicants also contribute to hormonal changes in both breast and thyroid tissues. Further research on hormonal crosstalk is necessary to understand and develop potential therapeutic options for these cancers.
