Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Thyroid Disease: Updates from Diagnosis to Treatment: 2nd Edition”. This is one new volume, we published 8 papers in the first volume. For more details, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/1716S77H3Z.
Thyroid disorders are frequently encountered in clinical daily life and their diagnosis and therapy may involve different specialists using different methods. Laboratory tests and imaging procedures are integral to the diagnosis and management of thyroid disease. The appropriate integration of laboratory, imaging, and (cyto)pathology data is pivotal to refine diagnosis and select patients for different available therapies. Radioiodine (i.e., I-131) therapy constituted the first application of the theranostic approach in clinical practice and is widely used in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism, and non-toxic compressive goiter since 1940s. Accordingly, thyroid diseases represent an ideal platform for developing and evaluating integrated diagnostics and theranostics strategies. The present Issue aims to provide relevant information on different diagnostic methods actionable in thyroid patients and their rational integration (i.e., integrated diagnostics). Furthermore, surgical, pharmacologic, and theragnostic applications for patients with either benign and malignant thyroid diseases will also be illustrated. We invite specialists in clinical thyroidology, endocrine surgery, imaging and theranostics, laboratory research, and (cyto)pathology to share their experience and contribute with original research and reviews to our present Issue.
