The European Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data System as a Remedy for the Overdiagnosis and Overtreatment of Thyroid Cancer: Results from the EUROCRINE Surgical Registry

Surgical Management of Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules across Different World Regions: Results from a Retrospective Multicentric (the MAIN-NODE) Study

Indeed, an increase in the occurrence of aggressive thyroid tumours has also been among these patients [5]. The management of ITNs includes mainly active surveillance and surgery; radiofrequency ablation is gaining evidence regarding its effectiveness in the treatment of ITNs but is still less employed in clinical practice [6].…”

Endocrinological Involvement in Children and Adolescents Affected by COVID-19: A Narrative Review
