Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones01:20

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

4.8K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.3K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

The Thyroid Gland01:23

The Thyroid Gland

4.0K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) often receives adjuvant radioiodine therapy.
  • A significant subset of patients develop iodine refractoriness, leading to poorer prognosis and survival rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review treatment strategies for iodine-refractory DTC.
  • To define iodine refractoriness and emphasize its clinical significance.
  • To introduce emerging therapeutic options for DTC patients with iodine refractoriness.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on iodine-refractory DTC.
  • Analysis of current and novel therapeutic approaches.
  • Emphasis on the definition and implications of iodine refractoriness.

Main Results:

  • Iodine refractoriness in DTC is associated with high mortality.
  • Several novel therapeutic options are emerging for iodine-refractory DTC.
  • Understanding iodine refractoriness is crucial for effective patient management.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment of iodine-refractory DTC remains a significant clinical challenge.
  • Awareness of novel therapeutic options is vital for clinicians managing DTC.
  • Further research into advanced therapies is needed to improve outcomes for refractory DTC patients.
