Thyroid nodules are growths in the thyroid gland, a small organ in your neck located in front of your windpipe (trachea). The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone, which regulates many of your ...
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has a relatively high survival rate. But rates can vary widely, depending on the stage and specific cellular and genetic characteristics of the disease.
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, often causing symptoms like weight gain and fatigue. Medications and certain lifestyle changes may help ease symptoms.
[9] In view of this, in the present study we have used cytopathologic criteria for the diagnosis of lymphocytic thyroiditis in index cases and both antibody assessment and cytopathologic ...
Susan L. Slager, PhD, discusses the background of her research on inherited germline genetics for risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Susan L. Slager, PhD, endowed professor of lymphoma research at ...
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may have a genetic basis. However, the risk of passing it down to future generations remains low. If a person has a family member with CLL, they do not usually ...
Thyroid nodules are solid or fluid-filled lumps or bumps. They're found on your thyroid, a small gland in your neck. This gland makes thyroid hormone, which affects your metabolism (the ...
Acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, specifically affecting lymphocytes. The disease progresses rapidly and creates immature blood cells, rather than mature ...
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved updated drug labeling for fludarabine phosphate (Fludarabine Phosphate Injection; Sandoz) in the treatment of patients with B-cell chronic ...
Noah S. Kalman, MD, MBA, discusses how oncologists can determine the best course of action for the treatment and management of a patient with thyroid cancer. Noah S. Kalman, MD, MBA, a radiation ...
Antithyroid antibodies target specific parts of the thyroid gland, including: Thyroid peroxidase (TPO). TPO is an enzyme that plays an important role in making thyroid hormones. Thyroglobulin (Tg).
