Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid cancer has witnessed a notable increase in incidence over recent decades, prompting a continuous evolution in diagnostic modalities and therapeutic strategies. While surgical interventions have long been the cornerstone of thyroid cancer management, the landscape of treatment has expanded significantly to encompass medical therapies, radioiodine ablation, and targeted therapies. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements across the spectrum of thyroid cancer treatment. By bringing together the expertise of leading researchers and clinicians in the field, this Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for anyone involved in the care of patients with thyroid cancer.
We invite original research articles, review articles, and meta-analyses that address the following key areas:
- Surgical advancements: The evolution of surgical techniques, driven by technological advancements and a deeper understanding of the disease, has significantly improved patient outcomes. Contributions exploring minimally invasive and remote-access surgery, nodal management, and the management of advanced disease are encouraged.
- Medical therapies: the role of medical therapies, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other targeted agents, is of great interest in the management of thyroid cancer, both as adjuvant and first-line treatments.
- Emerging technologies: The field of thyroid cancer treatment is continually evolving. Contributions exploring emerging technologies, such as US-guided ablation, and their potential applications in thyroid cancer are welcome.
- Quality of life and patient-reported outcomes: The impact of treatment on patients' quality of life is a critical consideration. Studies investigating the long-term functional outcomes, cosmetic results, and patient satisfaction following thyroid cancer treatment are encouraged. Moreover, we reserve special attention to active surveillance.
