 AACR: Obesity Molecule Likely Linked to Thyroid CancersOct 9, 2009 Leptin, a molecule typically associated with obesity, has been shown to be overproduced in thyroid cancers and is associated with more aggressive disease and poorer prognosis, according to a Middle Eastern study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Frontiers in Basic Cancer Research Meeting, held from Oct. 8 to 11 in Boston. |
 Thyroid Cancer Incidence on Rise Since Late 1980sJul 14, 2009 The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer increased in recent decades, with patterns indicating the rise was not merely due to increased detection, according to research published online July 13 in Cancer. |

 Simplified Method Has Value for Prognosis in Thyroid CancerMar 16, 2009 A quantified alternative to the TNM system -- a cancer-staging system using tumor size, node involvement and presence of metastases -- provides a simple method of predicting recurrence and cancer-specific mortality, with no loss of discrimination compared to other systems, for differentiated thyroid carcinoma, according to research published online March 9 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. |
 Genetic Variants Linked to Higher Risk of Thyroid CancerFeb 13, 2009 Two common genetic variants appear to be associated with an increased risk of papillary and follicular thyroid cancer, according to research published online Feb. 6 in the journal Nature Genetics. |
