Cancerous nodules in the thyroid gland are usually removed through surgery, often along with much thyroid tissue. The operative procedure used in this case is known as Near-total Thyroidectomy. However, the process includes certain risks. This involves damage to the nerve that controls the vocal ...

FNA of the nodules in the lateral compartments was not performed because of absence of the suspicious signs during the US. The main laboratory tests that could affect the thyroid function were as follows: thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)—2.28 mU/L (reference 0.45–4.0), free thyroxine (T4)...
Prior thyroid cancer was defined as being diagnosed with thyroid cancer (the ICD-O-3 primary site code: C73.9, thyroid gland) before patients were diagnosed with liver cancers. The eligible patients’ survival status was divided into three groups: (1) PLC-specific death; (2) death due to ...
