The rate of recurrent or persistent disease did not differ between patients with PMC and PTC (recurrent or persistent disease, 6.1% vs 14.1%; 53.4- vs 84.2-month follow-up; n = 98 vs 647; corrected p = .112). The frequency of BRAFV600E mutation was similar in patients with PMC and PTC (65.6% vs 67.2%). Immunohistochemical staining showed no different expression pattern according to the tumor size.Conclusion.These results suggest that PMC is not an occult cancer and it can act like larger PTC. Therefore, PMC should not be underestimated in practice. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Compared with the remaining patients, this group had a significantly higher average preoperative PTH level (224.89 vs 156.86 pg/mL) and a lesser intraoperative decrease in PTH.Conclusions.About 25% of eucalcemic patients may have elevated PTH levels after parathyroidectomy. A high preoperative PTH level (>225 pg/mL) may predict a persistently high postoperative level. Evaluation of blood and urine calcium, bone density, and cardiac function should be considered in affected patients.

The most prevalent cancer type was squamous cell (88%), site was pharyngeal (40%), and stage was III or IV (80%). Lower total HRQOL was independently associated with gastrostomy (p < .001) and history of radiation therapy (p < .05)(R2 = 0.27). Certain HRQOL subscales were also independently associated with depression, body mass index, age, and education.Several factors can be used to identify patients with head and neck cancer at risk for persistent reductions in HRQOL requiring intervention. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Proportional hazards models compared hypothyroidism risk after any RT versus surgery alone.In patients treated with RT, 5-year incidence of hypothyroidism was 20% and 10-year incidence was 59%; in patients treated with surgery alone, incidence was 7% and 39% (p < .001). Patients treated with RT had increased adjusted risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.14; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.74-2.62), persisting for up to 10 years of follow-up (HR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.39-2.44 from 5 to 10 years).In older patients with head and neck cancer, RT is associated with elevated hypothyroidism risk.
