Volume 17

Clinical Thyroidology^® for the Public summarizes selected research studies discussed in the previous month’s issue of Clinical Thyroidology, an official publication of the American Thyroid Association^®.

• How scared are we of Thyroid Cancer?
• Can thyroid nodules known to be cancerous, or that are suspected to be cancerous, be safely watched over time instead of being removed with surgery?
• Is radiofrequency ablation superior to surgery for management of low-risk multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinoma?
• Can AI help us to standardize ultrasound classification of thyroid nodules?
• Does levothyroxine treatment for subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnancy decrease risk of pregnancy loss?
• Can Teprotumumab help patients with chronic TED without evidence of active ongoing inflammation?

In this issue Volume 17 Issue 8, the studies ask the following questions:

• Are there unintended consequences in molecular tests for thyroid nodules?
• When is it time to stop my thyroid cancer surveillance?
• Are some indeterminate nodules candidates for active surveillance?
• Does Tall-cell subtype of papillary thyroid cancer respond to RAI?
• How deadly is myxedema coma?
• Does thyroid disease affect kidney function?
