Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thyroid diseases are a wide topic that includes congenital, autoimmune, and neoplastic conditions. Diagnostic pathways and therapeutic approaches of thyroid diseases are constantly evolving both in adulthood and in childhood. This process is favored by the discovery of new pathophysiological mechanisms and by advances on molecular sciences. Novel information on natural history, complications, and mechanisms of thyroid diseases allows the application of new treatment strategies, particularly in the fields of autoimmunity and cancer.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect updated studies on new pathophysiological mechanisms and on novel therapeutic approaches for thyroid diseases. Therefore, I cordially invite authors and investigators within this field to submit original research or review articles related to this Special Issue. Preclinical and translational research studies that can suggest new diagnostics and therapeutic approaches are also welcome.
Prof. Dr. Tommaso Aversa
Guest Editor
