Clinical implications of anti-thyroglobulin antibody measurement before surgery in thyroid cancer
Kwanhoon Jo, Dong-Jun Lim
Korean J Intern Med. 2018;33(6):1050-1057. Published online October 30, 2018
Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) is a class G immunoglobulin and a conventional marker for thyroid autoimmunity. From a clinical perspective, TgAb is less useful than thyroid peroxidase antibodies for predicting thyroid dysfunction. However, TgAb is found more frequently in differentiated thyroid cance..

Oncogenes, mitochondrial metabolism, and quality control in differentiated thyroid cancer
Hyon-Seung Yi, Joon Young Chang, Koon Soon Kim, Minho Shong
Korean J Intern Med. 2017;32(5):780-789. Published online August 22, 2017
Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignancies of endocrine organs, and its incidence rate has increased steadily over the past several decades. Most differentiated thyroid tumors derived from thyroid epithelial cells exhibit slow-growing cancers, and patients with these tumors can achieve a ..

Serum vitamin D3 levels are not associated with thyroid cancer prevalence in euthyroid subjects without autoimmune thyroid disease
Yun Mi Choi, Won Gu Kim, Tae Yong Kim, Sung Jin Bae, Hong-Kyu Kim, Eun Kyung Jang, Min Ji Jeon, Ji Min Han, Young Kee Shong, Won Bae Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2017;32(1):102-108. Published online September 1, 2016
Background/Aims: Previous studies have suggested that elevated serum vitamin D levels might protect against thyroid cancer. Elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone levels and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) are suggested to be thyroid cancer promoting factors but have not been well controlled i..

The effect of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamideribonucleoside was mediated by p38 mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathway in FRO thyroid cancer cells
Won Gu Kim, Hyun-Jeung Choi, Tae Yong Kim, Young Kee Shong, Won Bae Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2014;29(4):474-481. Published online June 27, 2014
Background/Aims: 5′-Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a cellular energy sensor that monitors intracellular AMP/adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ratios and is a key regulator of the proliferation and survival of diverse malignant cell types. In the present study, we inves..

Distant subcutaneous recurrence of a parathyroid carcinoma: abnormal uptakes in the 99mTc-sestamibi scan and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging
Sang Soo Kim, Yun Kyung Jeon, Soo Hyung Lee, Bo Hyun Kim, Seong Jang Kim, Yong Ki Kim, In Ju Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2014;29(3):383-387. Published online April 29, 2014
We report a rare case of distant subcutaneous parathyroid carcinoma recurrence. A 50‑year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of sustained hypercalcemia despite surgical removal of a parathyroid carcinoma. A focal uptake in the upper mediastinal area was detected in a 99mTc-s..
