Abstract

Background

Surgery is still the only curative treatment for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). We evaluated clinical outcome in patients with locoregional MTC with regard to adequacy of treatment following ATA guidelines and number of sessions to first intended curative surgery in different hospitals.

Methods

We reviewed all records of MTC patients (n = 184) treated between 1980 and 2010 in two tertiary referral centers in the Netherlands. Symptomatic MTC (palpable tumor or suspicious lymphadenopathy) patients without distant metastasis were included (n = 86). Patients were compared with regard to adequacy of surgery according to ATA recommendations, tumor characteristics, number of local cancer reoperations, biochemical cure, clinical disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and complications.

Results

Adherence to ATA guidelines resulted in fewer cancer-related reoperations (0.24 vs. 0.60; P = 0.027) and more biochemical cure (40.9 vs. 20 %; P = 0.038). Surgery according to ATA-guidelines on patients treated in referral centers was significantly more often adequate (59.2 vs. 26.7 %; P = 0.026). Tumor size and LN+ were the most important predictors for clinical recurrence [relative risk (RR) 4.1 (size > 40 mm) 4.1 (LN+) and death (RR 4.2 (size > 40 mm) 8.1 (LN+)].

Conclusions

ATA-compliant surgery resulted in fewer local reoperations and more biochemical cure. Patients in referral centers more often underwent adequate surgery according to ATA-guidelines. Size and LN+ were the most important predictors for DFS and OS.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
