Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endocrine tumors continue to be a problem for many patients all over the world. In particular, thyroid cancer has has a significant increase in incidence and prevalence in recent years. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer. In many cases, it is a benign form of malignancy. However, there are many cases of thyroid cancer that present with metastatic progressive disease. In these cases, novel therapeutic agents are applied, called multiple kinase inhibitors. Since their discovery, these therapeutic agents have offered new hope for patients with progressive metastatic disease. As the pathophysiology and prognosis of thyroid cancer becomes better understood, the indications for treatment with radioiodine will change. Treatment with radioiodine, its indications, and procedural changes will be upgraded as our understanding of thyroid cancer biology and pathophysiology improves. Adrenal cancer is also a medical problem that poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for physicians and biologists alike. With applying diagnostic methods like computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, the discovery of adrenal masses becomes increasingly easy. However, most of these endocrine neoplasms are benign. The differential diagnosis of a possible adrenal cancer as well as its treatment pose a diagnostic and therapeutic problem with major interest.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ifigenia Kostoglou-Athanassiou
