Update on Management of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Focus on Nuclear Medicine

Giorgio Treglia et al.

Summary: Currently, there is a lack of consensus on the effectiveness of nuclear medicine techniques in diagnosing and treating medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). This review aims to provide an update on diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine techniques in MTC. Evidence suggests that PET/CT with specific radiopharmaceuticals is useful for recurrent MTC, and 18F-FDOPA should be the preferred PET radiopharmaceutical. If 18F-FDOPA PET/CT is negative or unavailable, alternative PET/CT scans can be considered for MTC restaging. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy and role of various nuclear medicine therapeutic options in managing MTC patients.

Role of Radiomics Features and Machine Learning for the Histological Classification of Stage I and Stage II NSCLC at [18F]FDG PET/CT: A Comparison between Two PET/CT Scanners

Francesco Dondi et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare two different PET/CT scanners for predicting the histological classification of NSCLC using RaF and ML. 227 patients were included and RaF were extracted. kNN and LR models showed the best performances for all scanners, with kNN outperforming the others. The choice of PET/CT scanner had an impact on RaF performances, with scanner 2 showing lower AUC values. In conclusion, this study identified promising RaF and ML models for predicting the histological subtype of NSCLC, while considering the influence of the scanner type.

Potential Role of PSMA-Targeted PET in Thyroid Malignant Disease: A Systematic Review

Alessio Rizzo et al.

Summary: Recent studies have explored the potential use of PSMA-targeted PET/CT with radiopharmaceuticals in radioiodine-refractory TC. This systematic review included 6 original articles, which showed heterogeneous detection rates of PSMA-targeted PET/CT in TC, ranging from 25% to 100%, and inferior compared to [F-18]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT. Prospective multicentric studies are needed to properly assess the potential role of this molecular imaging examination in TC.

Temporal Evolution and Prognostic Role of Indeterminate Response Sub-Groups in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer after Initial Therapy with Radioiodine

Domenico Albano et al.

Summary: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the dynamic evolution and prognostic role of patients with Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma (DTC) and an indeterminate response (IR) after initial therapy. The study found that stimulated Tg levels after one year and nodal disease at diagnosis may predict the final status of the disease. Progression-free survival was significantly shorter in the IRTg+ group compared to the IRTgAb+ and IRimaging+ groups. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Quantitative classification and radiomics of [18F]FDG-PET/CT in indeterminate thyroid nodules

Elizabeth J. de Koster et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether quantitative [F-18]FDG-PET/CT assessment and radiomic analysis of [F-18]FDG-positive thyroid nodules could improve the preoperative differentiation of indeterminate thyroid nodules. The results showed that applying distinct SUV cut-offs for non-Hurthle cell and Hurthle cell nodules can optimize the ability to rule out malignancy, while radiomic analysis did not provide additional differentiation for [F-18]FDG-positive nodules.

Comparison between Two Different Scanners for the Evaluation of the Role of 18F-FDG PET/CT Semiquantitative Parameters and Radiomics Features in the Prediction of Final Diagnosis of Thyroid Incidentalomas

Francesco Dondi et al.

Summary: This study compared two different tomographs in the prediction of thyroid incidentalomas (TIs) using semiquantitative PET/CT parameters and radiomics features (RF). The results showed that semiquantitative parameters were unable to predict the final diagnosis of TIs, while some RF exhibited good predictive performances. There was a significant overlap in the extraction of RF between the two scanners.

Radiomics Analysis of [18F]FDG PET/CT Thyroid Incidentalomas: How Can It Improve Patients' Clinical Management? A Systematic Review from the Literature

Mirela Gherghe et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to explore the application of PET-based radiomics in [F-18]FDG-avid thyroid incidentalomas, and discussed the additional value of PET volumetric parameters and radiomic features over clinical data. The results revealed the potential of using PET volumetric parameters and radiomics analysis in diagnosing and stratifying patients with malignant nodules, which may help reduce the need for unnecessary invasive procedures. However, further studies are needed for method standardization.

Luca Giovanella et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the ability of PET metrics and radiomics features to predict final diagnosis of (18)FDG-avid cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules. Results showed that two radiomics features (shape_Sphericity and glcm_Autocorrelation) can differentiate malignant from benign lesions. A predictive model integrating radiomics score and cytology classes effectively stratified the risk of malignancy.

Radiomics in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer and Nodules: Explorations, Application, and Limitations

Yuan Cao et al.

Summary: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy with a high incidence rate in females. The COVID-19 epidemic has increased the risk of treatment delay, leading to increased morbidity and mortality rates of DTC. Radiomics, as an emerging technique, allows for the quantitative extraction of high-throughput features from medical images and may improve clinical decision-making for DTC patients.

The role of Hashimoto thyroiditis in predicting radioiodine ablation efficacy and prognosis of low to intermediate risk differentiated thyroid cancer

Domenico Albano et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the potential role of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) in predicting treatment response and prognosis after RAIT. The findings suggest that in low to intermediate risk DTC patients, HT may affect the efficacy of RAIT, particularly reducing the successful rate of excellent response after RAIT. Additionally, HT did not have a prognostic impact such as stimulated thyroglobulin levels.
