Abstract

Pregnancy is an unquantifiable risk to accelerate tumor growth of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and whether pregnancy induces an unfavorable prognosis of radioiodine refractory papillary thyroid carcinoma (RR-PTC) remains unknown. We investigated the impact of pregnancy on the prognosis of pulmonary metastases in an RR-PTC woman via a long-term clinical follow-up and consecutive computed tomography examinations and serum tests. After a successful pregnancy, the metastatic lesions shrank with serum thyroglobulin slightly fluctuated under sustained thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression, demonstrating a favorable outcome. This case study indicates that metastatic RR-PTC may not be aggravated by pregnancy under TSH suppression, and pregnancy should not be contraindicated in RR-PTC patients with stable disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 November 2017.
All research outputs
#18,576,855
of 23,008,860 outputs
Outputs from BMC Cancer
#5,461
of 8,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,770
of 331,178 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Cancer
#82
of 123 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,008,860 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,178 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 123 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
