J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Sep;98(9):3702-12. Existing evidence is controversial regarding the association between BRAF mutation status and aggressive features of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Specifically, no study has incorporated multiple surgical practices […]
Taylor PN, Razvi S, Pearce SH, Dayan CM. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Sep;98(9):3562-71. Overt thyroid disease is associated with profound adverse health outcomes; however, data are conflicting for studies of borderline/subclinical thyroid dysfunction. Many studies of subclinical thyroid disease have had low power and were prone to selection bias. In contrast, large datasets are available from community studies […]
Gharib H, Hegedüs L, Pacella CM, Baek JH, Papini E. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Oct;98(10):3949-57. Nodular thyroid disease is very common.
