The increased incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer and autoimmune thyroid diseases, Hashimoto's thyroiditis hypothyroidism in particular, may be related to exposure to environmental factors such as endocrine disruptors (ED). This project aims to investigate the cytotoxic and molecular effects of two ED: Bisphenol A (BPA) and glyphosate (Roundup Original®) on thyroid cells in vitro. …
Hürthle cell thyroid tumors (HCT) constitute an unusual form of neoplasm composed of cells with voluminous, granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm due to the huge amount of abnormal mitochondria. The molecular basis for the occurrence of HCT is still unknown. Mitochondria have been proposed to play an important role in HCT formation. The increased number of mitochondria and the mitochondrial st…
Representing more than 2% of all human cancers, thyroid cancer has been increasing in many regions of the world in the recent decades and the National Cancer Institute projects the occurrence of 10,590 new cases of thyroid cancer, with an estimated risk of 11 cases per 100 000 women in 2012. So, there has been an active sought for markers that distinguish malignancy in thyroid nodules and…
The differentiated thyroid carcinoma has significantly increased its incidence in recent years and is considered by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as the fourth most prevalent tumor in women. However, there are important differences in prevalence that can not be attributed solely to differences in the efficiency of the health system or other ecological factors. Environmental risk fac…

There is evidence that the increase in the incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer and thyroid diseases that has occurred in recent years is related to exposure to environmental factors, including endocrine disruptors (EDs). Glyphosate-based products such as Roundup® are widely used around the world and have been suspected of exerting ED effects and carcinogenic effects, but little is …
Thyroid tumors are the most common malignant neoplasms of the endocrine system and have become increasingly frequent in the population. The p14ARF and p16INK4A proteins, encoded by the CDKN2A gene, play an important role in controlling the cell cycle. Structural and functional alterations of these tumor suppressive proteins are potential risk factors for the development of neoplasias. Th…
Thyroid tumors are the most common malignant neoplasms of the endocrine system and are becoming more and more frequent in the population. Factors such as proper diagnosis, identification of tumor aggressiveness, and early detection of recurrences are essential for therapeutic success. Although FNAB is recognized as the best means of diagnosis in cases of thyroid nodules, this procedure ha…
Thyroid Cancer (TC) due to several genetic changes confer a proliferative advantage to the follicular cell. Platforms based on these changes have been improving the diagnosis, however, do not focus on prognosis analysis and routine assessment of the possibility of cancer recurrence and metastasis. The expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) on the routine evaluations can help this issue, given t…
