Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to launch the third edition of the Special Issue “Thyroid Cancer: Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment”, with the first edition available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/57624JGNGB and the second edition at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cancers/special_issues/O73E651X2N.
Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, representing approximately 4% of all new cancer cases. The prognosis and treatment of thyroid cancer depend on the tumor type and its stage at the time of diagnosis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve prognosis and reduce mortality. Well-established treatments (surgery and radioiodine) and new options (molecular-targeting drugs) for patients with aggressive thyroid cancers have kept the mortality rate for this malignancy low despite the increase in its incidence. This Special Issue will highlight the role of different diagnostic procedures (i.e., ultrasound, molecular imaging, laboratory, cytology, and molecular cytology), therapeutic approaches (i.e., surgery, theranostics, hormone therapy, non-invasive procedures, radiotherapy, molecular-targeting drugs, redifferentiating agents), and prognostic markers in personalized thyroid cancer treatment.
