Colorectal Cancer and Subsequent Diabetes Risk: A Population-based Cohort Study in Taiwan
CONCLUSION: Patients with CRC are associated with an elevated risk of diabetes mellitus, and long-term chemotherapy, particularly involving capecitabine, increases diabetes mellitus risk. Thus, monitoring blood glucose levels is crucial for patients with CRC, especially during extended chemotherapy.PMID:38661006 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae257 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Long-term cumulative incidence of clinically diagnosed retinopathy in the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study
CONCLUSION: A higher cumulative HbA1c was significantly associated with a higher risk of retinopathy. No evidence was found for a beneficial effect of a 4-year lifestyle intervention on the long-term occurrence of clinically diagnosed retinopathy during a median of 22-year follow-up.PMID:38661084 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae287 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Prepubertal children with obesity have high free IGF-1 levels and accelerated growth despite reduced pappalysin levels
CONCLUSION: Increased circulating total and free IGF-I, insulin and IGF-II may all contribute to the increased rate of prepubertal growth and bone maturation observed in children with obesity, with STC2 possibly being involved.PMID:38662803 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae288 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Identification of Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4B as a Novel Candidate Gene for Congenital Hypothyroidism
CONCLUSION: These experimental data supported a role for EIF4B function in the pathogenesis of the hypothyroid phenotype seen in CH patients. Our work indicated that EIF4B was identified as a novel candidate gene in CH. EIF4B is essential for animal survival, but further studies are needed to validate its role in the pathogenesis of CH.PMID:38654471 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae270 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Increased prevalence of germline pathogenic CHEK2 variants in individuals with pituitary adenomas
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to suggest a role for the breast cancer predisposition gene, CHEK2, in pituitary tumorigenesis, with pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants found in 3% of patients with pituitary adenomas. As pituitary adenomas are relatively common and typically lack classical autosomal dominant family histories, risk alleles - such as these variants found in CHEK2 - might be a significant contributor to pituitary adenoma risk in the general population.PMID:38651569 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae268 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Single Institute Experience over Three Decades and Risk Factors for Recurrence
CONCLUSION: One of 4 patients undergoing surgery for MTC will recur. Risk factors associated with recurrence are male gender, lateral LN metastasis and high/highest MTC risk level mutations, but not necessarily surgery type. Preoperative calcitonin>2,175 pg/mL is suggestive of advanced disease and should prompt further evaluation.PMID:38651609 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae279 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Approach to the patient: Concept and application of targeted radiotherapy in the paraganglioma patient
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Apr 23:dgae252. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgae252. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParagangliomas can metastasize, posing potential challenges in both symptomatic management and disease control. Systemic targeted radiotherapies using 131I-MIBG and 177Lu-DOTATATE are a mainstay in the treatment of metastatic paragangliomas. This clinical scenario and discussion aim to enhance physicians' knowledge of the stepwise approach to treat these patients with paraganglioma targeted radiotherapies. It comprehensively discusses current approaches to selecting paraganglioma patients for targeted radiotherapies and...
