[PMID: 37925942 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
False-positive diagnosis and overdiagnosis are ongoing issues in clinical diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Identifying new disease markers is crucial for early diagnosis and improved treatment. Aminopeptidase N (APN) is a promising biomarker for cancer diagnosis due to its critical roles in tumor invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and other processes. However, its potential as biomarker for thyroid cancer diagnosis needs further investigation. This study developed an ultra-sensitive near-infrared fluorescence probe, LAN-apn, to investigate the expression level of APN in thyroid cancer and evaluate its potential as biomarker of thyroid cancer. LAN-apn could accurately and sensitively determine APN through fluorescence method (DL = 0.069 ng/mL) and colorimetric method (DL = 4.5 ng/mL). In addition, LAN-apn allowed for successful fluorescence imaging of APN in thyroid cancer cells and thyroid cancer tumors both in vivo and in vitro, and confirmed that APN was significantly upregulated in thyroid cancer. Therefore, APN may become a new biomarker for thyroid cancer diagnosis, and LAN-apn could be used as a new imaging tool for the study of APN-thyroid cancer relationship and the early diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

Abstract
Background: Since the era of “thyroid cancer epidemic,” many Korean academic societies discouraged the use of ultrasonography in healthy individuals and revised the Korean Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System to address the overscreening and overdiagnosis issues. This study aimed to evaluate the change in the diagnostic effectiveness of thyroid cancer screening over the last decade.Methods: This single-center, retrospective observational study analyzed the data of 125,962 thyroid nodules obtained during cancer screening at the health promotion center of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from 2010 to 2019. Only 327 thyroid cancer cases pathologically confirmed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) were included in the study. The strength of the association between the number of FNA and (1) the number of thyroid cancer diagnoses, (2) the positive predictive values (PPVs), and (3) the difference in PPV from the previous year were evaluated using Pearson’s correlation analysis.Results: The number of thyroid FNA biopsies as well as the thyroid cancer diagnoses decreased from 2010 to 2019 (166 to 48 [-71.1%] vs. 43 to 22 [-48.8%]). The PPV of FNA biopsies increased from 25.9% to 45.8% (+76.8%) and was negatively correlated with the number of FNA biopsies performed (R=-0.87, P<0.001). The difference in PPV from the previous year increased similarly but without statistical significance (R=-0.59, P=0.09).Conclusion: The diagnostic efficiency of thyroid cancer screening has increased over the last decade, as evidencedby the increasing PPV of FNA biopsies.

Abstract
Thyroid nodules are neoplasms commonly found among adults, with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) being the most prevalent malignancy. However, current diagnostic methods often subject patients to unnecessary surgical burden. In this study, we developed and validated an automated, highly accurate multi-study-derived diagnostic model for PTCs using personalized biological pathways coupled with a sophisticated machine learning algorithm. Surprisingly, the algorithm achieved near-perfect performance in discriminating PTCs from non-tumoral thyroid samples with an overall cross-study-validated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.999 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.995-1) and a Brier score of 0.013 on three independent development cohorts. In addition, the algorithm showed excellent generalizability and transferability on two large-scale external blind PTC cohorts consisting of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), which is the largest genomic PTC cohort studied to date, and the post-Chernobyl cohort, which includes PTCs reported after exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident. When applied to the TCGA cohort, the model yielded an AUROC of 0.969 (95% CI: 0.950-0.987) and a Brier score of 0.109. On the post-Chernobyl cohort, it yielded an AUROC of 0.962 (95% CI: 0.918-1) and a Brier score of 0.073. This algorithm also is robust against other various types of clinical scenarios, discriminating malignant from benign lesions as well as clinically aggressive thyroid cancer with poor prognosis from indolent ones. Furthermore, we discovered novel pathway alterations and prognostic signatures for PTC, which can provide directions for follow-up studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to discover a potential cytokine biomarker for early diagnosis of thyroid cancer. METHODS We employed data mining of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and experimentally elucidated its mechanistic contributions. The differential expression genes (DEGs) between thyroid cancer and health population were analyzed with TCGA online bioinformatic tools. The relative expression of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 8A (BMP8A) was determined by real-time PCR in ultrasonic diagnosed thyroid cancer both in vivo and in vitro. The serous BMP8A content was quantified with an ELISA kit. Protein levels of BMP8A, OCLN, ZEB1, EZH2 and β-Actin were analyzed by Western blot. Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay, and anchorage-independent growth was measured by the soft agar colony formation assay. Cell migrative and invasive capacities were interrogated with transwell chamber assays. RESULTS We identified aberrantly high expression of BMP8A in thyroid cancer, which was associated with unfavorable prognosis and tumor progression. The serous BMP8A was also significantly up-regulated in thyroid cancer patients. Ectopic over-expression of BMP8A remarkably stimulated cell viability and anchorage-independent growth. Meanwhile, the migrative and invasive capacities were greatly increased in response to BMP8A over-expression. Mechanistically, we characterized the positive correlation between BMP8A and TCF7L1, and forced expression of TCF7L1 induced BMP8A expression in TPC-1 cells. CONCLUSION In summary, we have identified a novel biomarker for early diagnosis in addition to Ultrasound for thyroid cancer, which is subjected to TCF7L1 regulation.

Abstract
Background Traditional open surgery and laparoscopic surgery are common treatments for thyroid cancer patients, this paper aims to explore their effects on the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and galectin-3 (Gal-3) in patients with thyroid cancer. Methods The clinical data of patients with thyroid cancer who received surgery in our hospital from September 2017 to February 2020 were collected. In total, 106 cases that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included. The patients were then allocated into two groups according to the surgery received, including a study group (56 cases treated with endoscopy) and a basic group (50 cases treated with traditional open surgery). Rehabilitation indicators and inflammatory cytokines were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the number of intraoperative lymph node dissections (P>0.05), postoperative complication rate (16.08% vs. 20.00%, P>0.05), and 6-month rate of recurrence or metastasis (P>0.05) between the two groups. Compared to the basic group, the operation time of the study group was longer, while the amount of intraoperative blood loss, 24 h drainage of the catheter and the length of hospital stay were significantly lower in the study group (P<0.05). The pain scores of the study group at 24 and 48 h after surgery were significantly lower than those of the basic group (P<0.05). The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, Gal-3, and other inflammatory factors in the two groups increased on the first day postoperatively, however the levels of these factors in the study group were lower than those in the basic group (P<0.05). Finally, the postoperative cosmetic satisfaction rate of the study group (94.64%) was higher than that of the basic group (86.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The use of laparoscopic treatment can reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss in patients with thyroid cancer, effectively reduce the degree of postoperative pain, and inhibit postoperative inflammation in the patient to a certain extent. Moreover, laparoscopic treatment can increase postoperative cosmetic satisfaction, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications and recurrence rate, and improve the patient's prognosis.

Abstract
Purpose The volume of thyroid cancer screening and subsequent thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) have rapidly increased in South Korea. We analyzed the thyroid cancer diagnoses/thyroid FNA ratio according to the annual number of FNA to evaluate changes in the diagnosticefficiency of FNA. Materials and Methods This was a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study. The overall thyroid cancer diagnoses/thyroid FNA ratio and annual incremental thyroid cancer diagnoses/incremental thyroid FNA ratio were indirectly calculated using data obtained from the Korea Central Cancer Registry database and the Korean National Health Insurance Service claims database from 2004 to 2012. Pearson correlation analyses were performed to evaluate the strength of linear associations between variables. Results The number of thyroid FNA increased from 28,596 to 177,805 (6.2-fold increase) from 2004 to 2012. The overall thyroid cancer diagnoses/thyroid FNA ratio decreased from 36.5% in 2004 to 25.1% in 2012 and was negatively correlated to the number of FNA (R=‒0.977, p < 0.001). The annual incremental thyroid cancer diagnoses/incremental thyroid FNA ratios (range, 15.3% to 30.7%) were always lower than the overall thyroid cancer diagnoses/thyroid FNA ratio in each year and also worsened according to the increase in the number of FNA (R=‒0.853, p=0.007). Conclusion The diagnostic performance of both overall and annual incremental thyroid FNA worsened, whereas the number of thyroid FNA procedures increased. More sophisticated indications for FNA are required to improve its diagnostic efficiency, considering the increased burden of screening-detected thyroid nodules.

Abstract
PURPOSE Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common malignant disease of the endocrine system. The aim of this study was to analyze incidence and mortality trends of TC (C73 according to ICD-O-3) in Granada (Southern Spain) during the period 1985-2013, by sex, age, and histological type. METHODS This is a population-based cross-sectional study. Incidence data were obtained from the population-based Cancer Registry of Granada. All newly diagnosed cases of thyroid cancer over the period 1985-2013 were included. Joinpoint regression analysis with age-standardized rates were used to estimate annual percentage change (APC), CI 95% and turning points in trends. Results are presented by sex, age group, and histological type. RESULTS During the study period there were 1265 diagnosed cases of TC in Granada (72.6% in women). Incidence trends significantly increased in both men (APC: + 5.4%) and women (APC: + 4.7%). The most common histological types in both sexes were papillary (74.8%) and follicular (16.8%). The incidence has increased during the study period mainly due to papillary carcinoma, which has increased annually around 6% in both sexes. TC mortality trend during this period decreased in men (APC: -0.3%) and women (APC: -2.3%). CONCLUSION Our data showed an increasing trend in incidence of thyroid cancer in Granada, especially in women between 55-64 years. Mortality showed a slight decrease trend during the study period in both sexes. Papillary carcinoma was the most common histological type, with an increase of the relative weight of papillary microcarcinomas. Our study is in accordance with the European and worldwide trends in thyroid cancer incidence and mortality and sex differences.
