This study aims to evaluate the clinicopathological and metastasis status of follicular thyroid cancer at K Hospital. We conducted a retrospective combined with prospective cohort study of 48 follicular thyroid carcinoma patients treated by surgery at K hospital from January 2016 to July 2020. The mean age was 44±16.1 and the female/male ratio was 4.3/1. Most patients presented with an asymptomatic and had a unilateral tumor with mean diameter was 21.7±12 mm. 72.9% of tumors were classified as TIRADS 4 on ultrasound, and FNA did not play a big role in the diagnosis of follicular thyroid carcinoma with undetermined significance result in 48.9% of cases. Distant metastasis in 18.8%, the most common metastatic sites were bone, followed by the lungs. The overall rate of nodal metastasis was 31.3%. Cancer in both thyroid lobes had significantly associated with nodal metastasis (p<0.05)

Long Term Prognosis

Follicular thyroid carcinoma is a slowly growing cancer with a generally good long-term prognosis. Distant metastasis from follicular thyroid cancer usually occurs in the lung and bones following a long period after diagnosis and treatment for primary cancer. Occult skull metastasis as the first presentation at diagnosis from follicular thyroid cancer is relatively rare. A 51-year-old woman presented with intermittent pain in her right hip that was treated due to the intensely progressed pain, motor weakness, and difficulty walking. The patient was then referred due to swelling in the forehead. Further evaluation revealed that the frontal swelling and the pathological femoral fractures were manifestations of distant metastases from follicular thyroid cancer. In the presence of swelling in the skull, the metastatic lesion should be considered as a differential diagnosis from a silent primary cancer. This report will be beneficial for general practitioners, surgeons, and internists to recognize unusual distant metastatic manifestations from silent differentiated thyroid cancer.

Summary Thyroid cancer with cranial metastasis in a pregnant woman is very rare. In the literature, most cases are diagnosed early from neurogenic signs or symptomatic thyroid gland. Pregnancy also contributes to a hesitation toward early surgical and medical treatments. We reported a scalp tumor in a physically healthy 37-year-old pregnant female with a follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) with lung, bone and cranial metastasis in initial presentation. Silent neurogenic and physical examinations make an early diagnosis very challenging. Resection of scalp and intracranial tumor, a thyroidectomy, post-operative radioactive iodine therapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors were employed as treatment. The scalp tumor was confirmed as a metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma via positive immunoreactivity for thyroglobulin and thyroid transcription factor 1 in tumor cells. Blood examination revealed an elevated thyroglobulin level (>5335 ng/mL). The patient was discharged without any neurological deficit. An asymptomatic scalp tumor in a pregnant woman with a normal thyroid disease history needs differential diagnosis from intracranial origin. Rapid progression and an elevated thyroglobulin level are the indicators that further image study is needed. Aggressive surgical excision of resectable thyroid gland and metastatic tumor are essential for a longer survival rate. There is nothing to indicate that a post-partum operation will worsen prognosis. Learning points: Follicular thyroid cancer with cranial metastasis in initial presentation can be asymptomatic. Follicular thyroid cancer with cranial metastasis in a pregnant woman can be treated after delivery. Rapid enlargement of scalp tumor is indicated for further image study even in a patient without any neurological deficit.

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway is crucial to many cell functions, and its dysregulation in tumors is a common finding. The molecular basis of follicular thyroid cancer metastasis is not well understood but may also be influenced by AKT activation. We previously created a knockin mutant mouse that expresses a mutant thyroid hormone receptor-β gene (TRβPV mouse) that spontaneously develops thyroid cancer and distant metastasis similar to human follicular thyroid cancer. In this study, we investigated whether our mouse model exhibits similar AKT activation as human follicular thyroid cancer. Western blot analysis on thyroids from both wild-type and TRβPV/PV mice revealed elevation of activated AKT in TRβPV/PV mice. Immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy reveal activated AKT in both the thyroid and metastatic lesions of TRβPV/PV mice. Whereas all three AKT isoforms were overexpressed in primary tumors from TRβPV/PV mice in the cytoplasm of thyroid cancer cells, only AKT1 was also found in the nucleus, matching the localization of activated AKT in a pattern similar to human follicular thyroid cancer. In the metastases, all AKT isoforms correlated with phosphorylated AKT nuclear localization. We created primary thyroid cell lines derived from TRβPV/PV mice and found reduction of phosphorylated AKT levels or AKT downstream targets diminishes cell motility. Activated AKT is common to both human and mouse follicular thyroid cancer and is correlated with increased cell motility in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Thus, TRβPV/PV mice could be used to further dissect the detailed pathways underlying the progression and metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma.

The second most common cancer of the Thyroid gland is FollicularThyroid Carcinoma (FTC), second only to papillary carcinoma. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound that has anti- oxidative, anti-inflammatory and apoptotic properties, appears to have substantial cardio protection and cancer-prevention properties. Furthermore, resveratrol is thought to be responsible for regulating several biological processes, such as metabolism and aging, through the modulation of the mammalian silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) of the Sirtuins family. The purpose of this study is evaluating erythrocyte malondialdehyde’s (MDA) role in the indication of the oxidative status in follicular thyroid carcinoma patients and investigating the therapeutic effect of resveratrol, a potent antioxidant, upon oxidative stress levels in thyroid cancer in vitro.Malondialdehyde was evaluated in erythrocyte of follicular thyroid cancer patients after and before treatment with sodium stibogluconate .Cytotoxicity by MTT assay and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels was measured after resveratrol treatment on follicular thyroid carcinoma FTC-133 cell line. The results of this study confirmed that150 μM Resveratrol inhibited proliferation of FTC-133 thyroid cancer cell line in vitro by 88% after 72hand treatment with 50-200μM Resveratrol reduced ROS levels.To sum up,considering its mode of action, resveratrol might have an important role providing a source for natural antitumor agents, a fact that would have great therapeutic potential in integrated oncology.

We present 2 patients with pituitary metastases from thyroid carcinoma—the first from anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and the second from follicular thyroid carcinoma. The first patient, a 50-year-old lady, presented with 2-week history of hoarseness of voice, dysphagia, dyspnoea, and neck swelling. Imaging revealed metastatic thyroid cancer to lymph nodes and bone. Histology from surgery confirmed anaplastic thyroid cancer. She was found to have pituitary metastases postoperatively when she presented with nonvertiginous dizziness. She subsequently underwent radiotherapy and radioiodine treatment but passed away from complications. The second patient, a 65-year-old lady, presented with loss of appetite and weight with increased goitre size and dyspnoea. Surgery was performed in view of compressive symptoms and histology confirmed follicular thyroid carcinoma. Imaging revealed metastases to bone, lung, and pituitary. She also had panhypopituitarism with hyperprolactinemia and diabetes insipidus. She received radioiodine therapy but eventually passed away from complications.

The prospero homeobox 1 (PROX1) transcription factor is a product of one of the lymphangiogenesis master genes. It has also been suggested to play a role in carcinogenesis, although its precise role in tumour development and metastasis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to gain more knowledge on the PROX1 function in thyroid tumorigenesis. Follicular thyroid cancer-derived cells—CGTH-W-1—were transfected with PROX1-siRNA (small interfering RNA) and their proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and motility were then analysed. The transcriptional signature of PROX1 depletion was determined using RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) and the expression of relevant genes was further validated using reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western blot and immunocytochemistry. PROX1 depletion resulted in a decreased cell motility, with both migratory and invasive potential being significantly reduced. The cell morphology was also affected, while the other studied cancer-related cell characteristics were not significantly altered. RNA-seq analysis revealed significant changes in the expression of transcripts encoding genes involved in both motility and cytoskeleton organization. Our transcriptional analysis of PROX1-depleted follicular thyroid carcinoma cells followed by functional and phenotypical analyses provide, for the first time, evidence that PROX1 plays an important role in the metastasis of thyroid cancer cells by regulating genes involved in focal adhesion and cytoskeleton organization in tumour cells.

Introduction. Although follicular thyroid carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor, up to 20% of the patients are threatened by potential complications resulting from infiltrating tumor growth into surrounding tissues. Case report. A 66- year-old female came to hospital with the presence of a growing thyroid nodule of the left lobe. Ultrasonic examination showed a 8 cm hypoechoic nodule in the left lobe. Thyroid scintigraphy showed a cold nodule. CT scan and tracheoscopy showed tracheal infiltration without tracheal obstruction. An extended total thyroidectomy was done, with the left jugular vein, strap muscles and tracheal 2 cm long circular resection. The pathologist confirmed invasive follicular thyroid cancer. After the surgery the patient was treated with radioiodine therapy and permanent TSH suppressive therapy. The patient was followed with measurements of the thyroid hormone and serum thyroglobulin level every six months, as well as the further tests (chest xray, ultrasound of the neck and a whole body scintigraphy) were done. After more than three years the patient had no evidence of the recurrent disease. Conclusion. Radical resection of the tracheal infiltrating thyroid cancer with circular tracheal resection and terminoterminal anastomosis followed by radioiodine therapy should be considered the treatment of choice.

Follicular thyroid cancer is the second most common thyroid malignancy. This tumor has a predisposition for hematogenous dissemination an extrathyroid spread. Accurate cytological diagnosis of follicular thyroid cancer is not possible and this fact highlights the necessity for surgical treatment of any suspicious thyroid nodule. Aggressiveness of this tumor is greater than in the case of papillary thyroid cancer and it is the reason for radical surgical treatment of follicular thyroid cancer. Total thyroidectomy facilitates later adjuvant therapy with thyroid hormones and radioiodine. This procedure improves the outcome and the risk of relapse. Results of our study clearly demonstrate that diagnosis of follicular thyroid cancer in us is established in the early phase of the disease (78.57%), but the significant number of the patients (21.43%) is still in the advanced phase of the disease.

The authors present a case of mixed papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma, metastatic to cervical lymph nodes, in a 20-year-old woman who had undergone diagnostic radioactive iodine procedures at 4 and 12 years of age. In this patient, calculation of radiation dose to the thyroid suggests that these procedures may have significantly increased the risk of development of thyroid malignancy.
