RET splice site variants in medullary thyroid carcinoma by Daryoush Saeed-Vafa, Kyriakos Chatzopoulos, Juan Hernandez-Prera, Pedro Cano, James J. Saller, Julie E. Hallanger Johnson, Bryan McIver, Theresa A. Boyle

“…The 11 cancers with non-MTC diagnoses that had the common RET SSVs were 4 neuroendocrine cancers, 4 non-small cell lung carcinomas, 2 non-MTC thyroid cancers, and 1 melanoma. All 25 MTCs analyzed had at least one of the two most common RET SSVs, including 4 with no identified mutational driver.Discussion: The identification of RET SSVs in all MTCs, but rarely in other cancer types, demonstrates that these RET SSVs distinguish MTCs from other cancer types. …”

Current Cancer Epidemiology by Camilla Mattiuzzi, Giuseppe Lippi

“…Lung, liver, and stomach are the three most deadly cancers in the general population, while lung and breast cancers are the leading causes of cancer related-mortality in men and women, respectively. Prostate and thyroid cancers have the best prognosis, with 5-year survival ~100%, while esophagus, liver, and especially pancreas cancers have the worst prognosis, typically <20% at 5 years. …”

The distinct clinical trajectory, metastatic sites, and immunobiology of microsatellite-instability-high cancers by Shuting Han, Aik Yong Chok, Daniel Yang Yao Peh, Joshua Zhi-Ming Ho, Emile Kwong Wei Tan, Si-Lin Koo, Iain Bee-Huat Tan, Johnny Chin-Ann Ong

“…Microsatellite-instability-high (MSI-H) cancers form a spectrum of solid organ tumors collectively known as Lynch Syndrome cancers, occurring not only in a subset of colorectal, endometrial, small bowel, gastric, pancreatic, and biliary tract cancers but also in prostate, breast, bladder, and thyroid cancers. Patients with Lynch Syndrome harbor germline mutations in mismatch repair genes, with a high degree of genomic instability, leading to somatic hypermutations and, therefore, oncogenesis and cancer progression. …”

Proteomic approach used in the diagnosis of Riedel's thyroiditis: a case report by Iacconi Pietro, Giusti Laura, Da Valle Ylenia, Ciregia Federica, Giannaccini Gino, Torregrossa Liborio, Proietti Agnese, Donatini Gianluca, Mazzeo Salvatore, Basolo Fulvio, Lucacchini Antonio

“…The comparison of the protein pattern of Riedel's thyroiditis fine-needle aspiration with that of anaplastic cancer showed evidence of a different expression of ferritin heavy chains, ferritin light chains, and haptoglobins, as previously reported in thyroid cancers. Therefore, we performed Western blot analysis of these proteins and validated that their expression levels were low or absent in Riedel's thyroiditis and control samples despite the high concentrations present in fine-needle aspiration anaplastic samples. …”
