Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid diseases, along with diabetes mellitus, are among the most common endocrinopathies worldwide. Thyroid cancer is still the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, with the fastest growing incidence, particularly in women.
Over the last two decades, in the study of thyroid diseases, epidemiology, clinical presentation, strategies for diagnosis, and approaches to treatment have changed. We have seen milestones in the field of molecular genetic research. This will undoubtedly influence new strategies for treating thyroid diseases. The treatment of most thyroid conditions has been very successful. Nevertheless, diseases such as anaplastic cancer and recurrent thyroid cancer remain a challenge, necessitating a continued search for new therapeutic treatments. Moreover, in the last two decades, we have observed progress in the surgical treatment of thyroid diseases; new technological devices have been developed and widely used to improve surgical outcomes. Minimally invasive techniques are playing an increasingly important role in therapeutic approaches.
This Special Issue will review the latest achievements in the treatment of thyroid disorders, from mechanisms to therapeutic approaches.
