Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Linked to Lower Thyroid Hormone Levels
Link between chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) symptoms and lower levels of thyroid hormones found by a new research. The causes of CFS which was previously unknown was now found to be associated with lower thyroid hormones, but may be distinct from thyroidal disease. This will pave a way for treating the debilitating illness for which […]

Thyroid Cancer Screening Improves with New Optical Modules
New consistent and cost-effective device screening thyroid nodules for thyroid cancer has been developed by a team of international scientists. Patient’s likelihood of recovery depends on early diagnosis of thyroid cancer. Current screening instruments can yield inaccurate results due to poor sensitivity. Incomplete information to make diagnostic decisions and recommend treatments can lead to patients […]

Insights into the Development and Treatment of Thyroid Cancer
The largest-ever study of thyroid cancer genetics has identified specific genes that may drive these cancers and thus provide attractive targets for treatment. The study has also found that in several samples of advanced differentiated and anaplastic thyroid cancer (the most aggressive and dangerous forms of the disease), mechanisms meant to repair faulty DNA had […]
