How genetics changed or will change the therapy in thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology? Marina Muzza, Carla Colombo, Laura Fugazzola, Luca Persani Annales D Endocrinologie, 2026 The incidence of thyroid cancer has risen in recent decades, largely due to the widespread use of increasingly sensitive imaging techniques that have enhanced the detection of thyroid nodules. Fine-needle aspiration cytology remains the diagnostic gold standard; however, 15–25% of samples fall into indeterminate Bethesda categories (III and IV), for which the traditional approach often involves diagnostic surgery, despite around 75% of these nodules ultimately prove to be benign. Advances in the genetic characterization of thyroid tumors, together with the development of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, have enabled the introduction of molecular tests aimed at improving preoperative risk stratification. Key genetic alterations include mutations in BRAF, the RAS family, the TERT promoter, and rearrangements involving RET, NTRK, and ALK, all of which have diagnostic and prognostic implications. Several commercial assays have been developed, employing methodologies including NGS, RNA sequencing, microRNA profiling, and qPCR. These tests demonstrate good sensitivity and high negative predictive value, helping to reduce unnecessary surgeries and better guide therapeutic decisions. Alongside commercial platforms, the high cost and limited accessibility of such tests have stimulated the development of increasingly robust in-house panels. Integrating molecular profiling with clinical and ultrasound findings now enables a more personalized approach to the management of indeterminate thyroid nodules, including surgery, mini-invasive treatments or active surveillance. Future perspectives include multi-omic and artificial intelligence approaches which may further enhance diagnostic accuracy and cost-effectiveness. L’incidence du cancer de la thyroïde a augmenté ces dernières décennies, principalement grâce à l’utilisation généralisée de techniques d’imagerie de plus en plus sensibles qui ont amélioré la détection des nodules thyroïdiens. La cytologie par aspiration à l’aiguille fine reste la référence diagnostique ; cependant, 15 à 25 % des échantillons appartiennent à des catégories Bethesda indéterminées (III et IV), pour lesquelles l’approche traditionnelle implique souvent une chirurgie diagnostique, bien qu’environ 75 % de ces nodules se révèlent finalement bénignes. Les avancées dans la caractérisation génétique des tumeurs thyroïdiennes, ainsi que le développement des technologies de séquençage de nouvelle génération (NGS), ont permis l’introduction de tests moléculaires visant à améliorer la stratification du risque préopératoire. Les principales altérations génétiques incluent des mutations dans BRAF, la famille RAS, le promoteur TERT, ainsi que des réarrangements impliquant RET, NTRK et ALK, qui ont tous des implications diagnostiques et pronostiques. Plusieurs tests commerciaux ont été développés, utilisant des méthodologies telles que NGS, séquençage ARN, profilage microARN et qPCR. Ces tests démontrent une bonne sensibilité et une forte valeur prédictive négative, aidant à réduire les interventions chirurgicales inutiles et à mieux orienter les décisions thérapeutiques. Parallèlement aux plateformes commerciales, le coût élevé et l’accessibilité limitée de ces tests ont stimulé le développement de panneaux internes de plus en plus robustes. L’intégration du profilage moléculaire avec les résultats cliniques et échographies permet désormais une approche plus personnalisée de la prise en charge des nodules thyroïdiens indéterminés, incluant la chirurgie, les traitements mini-invasifs ou la surveillance active. Les perspectives futures incluent les approches multi-omiques et l’intelligence artificielle qui pourraient encore améliorer la précision diagnostique et la rentabilité.
Fibrosis-Driven Surgical Risk After Thyroid Nodule Ablation: Quantitative Clinicopathological Determinants of Complications in Post-Ablative Thyroidectomy—A Retrospective Cohort Study Daqi Zhang, Alvino Boero, Giacomo Gazzano, Andrea Satta, Laura Fugazzola, Carla Colombo, Francesco Brucchi, Gianlorenzo Dionigi World Journal of Surgery, 2026 Background Thermal ablation is increasingly used for selected benign and low‐risk thyroid nodules, yet some patients still require thyroidectomy for regrowth, persistent symptoms, or new oncologic concern. The surgical and pathological impact of ablation‐induced remodeling remains incompletely defined. We aimed to characterize postablation thyroidectomy outcomes and identify histological correlates of perioperative morbidity. Methods We conducted a single‐center retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing thyroidectomy after radiofrequency or ethanol ablation (2021–2025). Clinical and ablation‐related variables were collected, and intraoperative neuromonitoring was routinely used. Primary outcomes were recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy, reoperative hematoma, and hypoparathyroidism. Surgical specimens underwent blinded dual‐pathologist assessment with semiquantitative scoring of sclerosis, necrosis, and residual viability, from which a maturation index was derived. Associations with complications were analyzed using nonparametric methods. Outcomes were descriptively compared with a contemporaneous nonablated cohort for contextual purposes. Results Thirty‐one patients were included. Postoperative complications occurred in 22.6% of ablated cases. Histological analysis demonstrated moderate sclerosis (19.2%), necrosis (14.6%), and high residual viability (66.1%), with frequent pericapsular inflammatory changes and preserved capsule integrity. Sclerosis was the only parameter significantly associated with postoperative complications (30.0% vs. 16.9% and p = 0.008), whereas nodule size, ablation‐to‐surgery interval, and incidental carcinoma were not predictive. The maturation index increased with time after ablation but did not discriminate complication risk. Exploratory fibrosis‐weighted metrics suggested potential risk thresholds, although these findings remain hypothesis‐generating given the limited sample size. Conclusions Thyroidectomy after prior ablation is feasible in experienced centers but may be technically demanding and associated with modestly increased procedural complexity. Mature sclerosis represents the principal histological correlate of perioperative morbidity, linking fibrotic remodeling to operative risk. These findings support centralization of postablation thyroid surgery in high‐volume units with routine neuromonitoring and specialized pathology and highlight the need for larger prospective studies to validate fibrosis‐based risk stratification tools.
High-dose intravenous methylprednisolone is effective in subacute thyroiditis unresponsive to oral steroids Simone Rodolfi, Guia Maria Vannucchi, Michela Perrino, Carla Colombo, Danila Covelli, Luca Persani, Laura Fugazzola, Irene Campi European Thyroid Journal, 2026 Objective Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) relapsing or refractory to standard of care oral prednisone (OP) therapy is rare, but affected patients experience significant discomfort due to prolonged and uncontrolled neck pain. Here, we report the efficacy of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) therapy in the treatment of such cases. Methods In this pilot study, we included 14 patients diagnosed with SAT in the period 2014–2024, in a single center. Therapy consisted of 500 mg of IVMP, divided into two weekly infusions and titrated down based on clinical response. Thyroid function tests, thyroid ultrasound, and inflammatory markers were assessed at baseline and throughout the follow-up up to 3–6 months after IVMP discontinuation. Results At baseline, 4 and 10 patients had thyrotoxicosis or were euthyroid, respectively. The median (IQR) duration of treatment was 26 days (21–38). At the end of the treatment, we observed a complete clinical, ultrasonographic, and biochemical response in twelve patients (86%), whereas thirteen (93%) had immediate resolution of neck pain and thyrotoxicosis. Only one patient did not improve at the end of IVMP protocol, and she was the only one experiencing a delayed remission with persistent hypothyroidism. Mild grade 1 and 2 adverse events (hyperglycemia, arterial hypertension, and neutrophilia) occurred in 8 out of 14 patients. Conclusion IVMP therapy resulted in a rapid clinical and ultrasonographic improvement in most patients with relapsing SAT unresponsive to oral steroids. This response allowed for a shorter treatment duration, with good tolerability, minimal adverse events, and a low incidence of hypothyroidism during follow-up.
Patient-Derived in Vitro Models Reveal Insights into Medullary Thyroid Cancer Microenvironment and Resistance to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Elisa Stellaria Grassi, Viola Ghiandai, Germano Gaudenzi, Elena Massardi, Valentina Cirello, Erika Carbone, Davide Gentilini, Sarah Uraghi, Giacomo Gazzano, Gianlorenzo Dionigi, Carla Colombo, Giovanni Vitale, Laura Fugazzola, Luca Persani Thyroid Official Journal of the American Thyroid Association, 2026 Background: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine malignancy with a 10-year mortality rate up to 50%. Current therapies for metastatic MTC comprise various tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, but resistance often appears due to the need for lifelong treatments. Like in other tumors, genetic, epigenetic, post-transcriptional, post-translational, and cell–cell interaction events influence drug response. However, progress in understanding MTC biology is limited by the lack of reliable in vivo and in vitro models. This study aims to develop a patient-derived model faithfully reproducing the microenvironmental alterations present in MTC. Methods: We applied a two-step protocol consisting of a first phase in which primary cells are cultivated as multicellular spheroids and a second phase in which they are switched to adherent cultures. After evaluation of the genetic background by targeted Next Generation Sequencing, we characterized our cells phenotype by examining a panel of stem/progenitor-related markers, the secretory abilities by ELISAs, the drug response by proliferation assays, the in vivo angiogenic and invasiveness by the use of zebrafish model, the in vitro invasivity by Matrigel Dome assays and the spatial variation of stem/progenitor marker in both 3D cell models and tissue samples by confocal microscopy. Results: Our model allowed the establishment of eight MTC patient-derived cell lines with different genetic backgrounds. The cultures faithfully reproduced the changes in stem and progenitor markers that we detected in our cohort of MTC tissue samples and could be successfully xenotransplanted in zebrafish model, showing both angiogenetic and invasive properties. Drug screening assays revealed the potential of our model for the study of patient-specific responses, as we were able to identify different candidate regulators of the sensitivity to currently available therapies for MTC. Conclusions: Our two-step protocol successfully generated primary MTC lines that maintain high plasticity, can be cultivated for several passages, and recreate the heterogeneity observed in patients’ tissues. Our model will offer a robust platform for preclinical drug testing and mechanistic studies, addressing a longstanding gap in MTC research. It enables exploration of tumor microenvironment interactions and personalized therapeutic responses, supporting progress beyond current genomic-driven frameworks.
Clinical presentation and outcomes of medullary thyroid cancer in two European countries: impact of diagnostic strategies Daniele Ceruti, Han J Bonenkamp, Carla Colombo, Martin Gotthardt, Simone De Leo, Antonius E van Herwaarden, Petronella B Ottevanger, Romana T Netea-Maier, Laura Fugazzola European Thyroid Journal, 2026 Objective To evaluate differences in clinical presentation, diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and outcomes in two cohorts of patients with sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) from reference centres in Italy and the Netherlands. The two centres have different diagnostic approaches, including the use of routine calcitonin (CT) measurement. Methods A total of 165 patients (106 Italian and 59 Dutch) were retrospectively included. The cohorts were compared overall and according to diagnostic modality. Logistic regression and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used, as appropriate, to assess progression-free survival (PFS), disease-specific survival (DSS) and associated risk factors. Results The Dutch cohort presented with more advanced disease, as per higher TNM, AJCC staging, and significantly higher CT both preoperative and at last visit ( P < 0.001). Dutch patients received more frequently second operations, radiotherapy, and systemic treatments. PFS and 10-year DSS were significantly lower in the Dutch cohort ( P < 0.001 and P 0.01). Tumour size, nodal involvement, presence of distant metastases at diagnosis and progression during the follow-up were independent strong predictors of shorter PFS and DSS. Patients diagnosed via routine CT measurement showed a less aggressive presentation and more favourable outcome. Conclusion We compared for the first time two MTC cohorts from countries with different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Our data contribute to highlighting an association between routine CT measurement and MTC presentation and outcome, while suggesting that caution should be exercised when interpreting the differences among countries in MTC prevalence and clinical features.
Physical activity and systemic treatment outcomes in advanced thyroid cancer Carla Colombo, Daniele Ceruti, Fabrizio Cervellini, Massimiliano Succi, Simone De Leo, Matteo Trevisan, Claudia Moneta, Marina Lugaresi, Gianlorenzo Dionigi, Giacomo Gazzano, Luca Persani, Laura Fugazzola Endocrine Oncology, 2026 Introduction Physical activity interventions could play a critical role in tolerance and outcome during anti-neoplastic therapy. Aim This study aims to evaluate the role of physical activity and its maintenance on treatment safety and efficacy in patients with advanced thyroid cancer. Methods We enrolled 28 patients with advanced thyroid cancer, treated with kinase inhibitor therapy for a median follow-up of 26 months. Three modified long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaires were administered before treatment, at an intermediate follow-up point and at the last follow-up point. Metabolic equivalents were calculated at each time point. Tumour response was evaluated according to RECIST, version 1.1. Results Patients inactive at baseline experienced more treatment interruptions during both the first (85 vs 30%, P = 0.01) and second half of the follow-up period (85 vs 47%, P = 0.08) and had more frequently a progressive disease (42 vs 14%, P = 0.15), compared to those who were mildly or highly active. Patients who declined their physical activity during treatment had more treatment interruptions (100 vs 31%, P = 0.006), more adverse events considering both the number (>5) and the grade (≥3) (100 vs 31%, P = 0.006 and 100 vs 38%, P = 0.01), more hospitalization due to toxicities (66 vs 8%, P = 0.008) and a more progressive disease (40 vs 8%, P = 0.09). The number of toxicities was inversely correlated with metabolic equivalents lost ( r = −0.15, P = 0.04). Conclusion This is the first study showing that maintaining adequate physical activity levels is associated with better treatment tolerance and outcomes in advanced thyroid cancer patients on kinase inhibitor therapy, supporting the need for prospective prehabilitation trials.
Clinical relevance of the thyroid differentiation score (TDS) in benign and malignant thyroid tumors Marina Muzza, Carla Colombo, Gabriele Pogliaghi, Erika Carbone, Laura Ermellino, Massimiliano Succi, Claudia Moneta, Gianlorenzo Dionigi, Davide Gentilini, Guia Vannucchi, Giacomo Gazzano, Luca Persani, Laura Fugazzola Endocrine Related Cancer, 2025 The thyroid differentiation score (TDS), calculated on the expression levels of 16 thyroid function genes, was reported to be lower in BRAF-like than in RAS-like papillary thyroid cancers, but scanty data are available in either other malignant histotypes or in benign thyroid nodules. The aims of the present study were to investigate the clinical relevance of the TDS in a large series of thyroid neoplasms, and its possible role in the differential diagnosis of cytologically indeterminate nodules. The TDS was calculated in 126 differentiated, 20 undifferentiated, 9 non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features, and 44 benign neoplasms. Overall, TDS significantly and progressively decreased from benign to differentiated and undifferentiated tumors ( P < 0.0001). A lower TDS was found in differentiated tumors with higher stage ( P = 0.006) and American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk ( P = 0.03), radio-iodine resistance ( P = 0.008), and disease persistence ( P = 0.009). Moreover, TDS independently correlated with progression-free survival, after adjusting for age at diagnosis and ATA risk ( P = 0.02). In Bethesda III and IV nodules, the TDS was significantly lower in nodules found to be malignant at histology compared to benign neoplasms ( P = 0.004). The combination of TDS with genetic test showed a sensitivity of 78.4%, a specificity of 77.3%, a PPV of 80%, and a NPV of 75.6% ( P = 0.001). In conclusion, we found a lower TDS in malignant compared to benign thyroid neoplasms, and demonstrated the prognostic role of TDS in differentiated tumors. These findings could preoperatively improve both the differential diagnosis of cytologically indeterminate nodules and the selection of the best surgical approach.
