Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endocrine conditions display a heterogeneous spectrum of clinical aspects, from diagnosis to practical management. We invite you to contribute one or more articles for this Special Issue in the field of endocrine pathology.
We are particularly interested (but are open to other proposals) in the latest research, guideline updates, current controversies, and unsolved issues, including recent conceptual changes, regarding the following:
- Fine-needle aspiration of thyroid nodules, parathyroid masses, and neck lymph nodes;
- The potential gap between pre-operative assessments and post-thyroidectomy results;
- Single and multi-glandular parathyroid disease, parathyromatosis;
- Unusual ectopic locations of the endocrine glands;
- Thyroid malignancy and autoimmune thyroid disease: new molecular markers;
- Parathyroid and bone disease in chronic renal failure;
- Multi-organ, including new markers, in diabetic bone disease;
- Novel genetic and molecular testing in radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer;
- Multi-modal decision in advanced, metastatic thyroid malignancies and surgery candidates;
- Landscape of clinical and pathological insights amid functioning or non-functioning endocrine tumors.
