LncRNA GAS8-AS1 dinucleotide genetic variantn.713A & gt;G, n.714T & gt;C is associated with early-stage disease, lymph node, and distant metastasis in differentiated thyroid cancer
ConclusionsThese findings indicate thatGAS8-AS1 is genetically deregulated and implicated in several stages of DTC tumorigenesis suggesting it could be a promising prognostic biomarker in DTCs. (Source: Endocrine)

Feasibility of primary aldosteronism diagnosis in initial evaluation without medication withdrawal or confirmatory tests
ConclusionsARR during I-RAAS therapy demonstrates reliability and accuracy for PA diagnosis. An ARR  >  50 combined with hypokalemia while on I-RAAS medication could be considered indicative of PA diagnosis. (Source: Endocrine)

Disease-free survival and the prognostic factors affecting disease-free survival in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma: a multicenter cohort study
ConclusionsThe absence of an excellent response after initial therapy is the strongest predictor of a worse DFS. However, a significant proportion of patients who achieve an excellent response could experience a structural recurrence. Therefore, careful follow-up of patients, including those achieving an excellent response is essential. (Source: Endocrine)

Targeting DUSP5 suppresses malignant phenotypes of BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer cells and improves their response to sorafenib
ConclusionsOur data demonstrate an oncogenic role ofDUSP5 in BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer cells, and combined analysis of its expression andBRAFV600E mutation can accurately diagnose thyroid cancer. In addition, inhibition of DUSP5 improves the response of BRAF-mutant thyroid cancer cells to sorafenib. (Source: Endocrine)
