Patients with differentiated thyroid cancer have a good prognosis after surgical treatment, but there are still some patients with recurrence or metastasis.Local/regional recurrent lesions invade or compress the surrounding organs such as esophagus and trachea,and appear fistula,obstruction,bleeding and other manifestations. For such patients,local treatment should be preferred to effectively control tumor growth and alleviate symptoms. Local treatment is an important means to control local lesions and has an important position in the treatment of malignant tumors. It can be used for local treatment of recurrent thyroid cancer,including reoperation,ablation, 125I seed implantation,external beam radiotherapy. This review reviews the local treatment effects and complications of local/regional recurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer according to the guidelines and related literature.

With the acceleration of population aging, issues such as multimorbidity, functional decline, and insufficient social support among elderly patients have become increasingly prominent.The traditional single-disease-centered medical model can no longer meet their complex health needs.This paper proposes a novel model of geriatric multidisciplinary service with goal-oriented care (GOC) as the core concept, comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) as the transformational hub, and geriatric interdisciplinary team (GIT) as the practical vehicle.Through hierarchical GOC setting, interdisciplinary resource integration, and dynamic goal regulation, it promotes a shift in healthcare paradigm from disease-centered treatment to function maintenance and quality of life improvement.However, the widespread clinical adoption of this model still faces multiple challenges, including lagging medical insurance payment policies, insufficient integration of health data, and a shortage of interdisciplinary compound talents.Future efforts should focus on policy innovation, technological empowerment, and talent cultivation to optimize the geriatric care service system, thereby providing a scientific and sustainable practical pathway towards healthy aging.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for biopsy-negative esophageal strictures suspected for malignancy.Methods:Patients who underwent EUS-FNA for esophageal strictures with negative endoscopic biopsies in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2014 to March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The final diagnosis was based on the pathological outcomes of EUS-FNA or surgery, complemented by follow-up data. Diagnostic efficacy and complication rates of EUS-FNA were analyzed.Results:A total of 64 patients were included in this study,with 54 ultimately diagnosed with malignant lesions and 10 with benign lesions. Malignant lesions were diagnosed by EUS-FNA in 50 cases, suspected malignant lesions in 3 cases, and no clear basis for malignancy was observed in 11 cases. The diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA was 98.4% (63/64), with the malignant tumor detection rate of 98.1% (53/54). No post-procedure complications such as bleeding, perforation, or infection were observed in any patient.Conclusion:EUS-FNA is safe and effective for the diagnosis of biopsy-negative suspected malignant esophageal stricture with a high malignant lesion detection rate.

Objective:To evaluate long-term outcomes of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for duodenal papillary adenomas and to identify risk factors for incomplete resection.Methods:Clinical data of 180 patients diagnosed as having duodenal papillary adenoma via postoperative pathology after EP in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2010 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on their postoperative margin status: the complete resection group (negative resection margins) and the incomplete resection group (positive/uncertain resection margins). Recurrence rates were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for incomplete resection.Results:Among the 180 patients included in the study, 137 underwent complete resection, and 43 had incomplete resections. Recurrence rate was significantly higher in the incomplete resection group than that in the complete resection group (30.2% VS 15.3%, χ2=4.75, P=0.029). logistic regression analysis indicated that high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was an independent risk factor for incomplete resection ( OR=2.43, 95% CI:1.12-5.26, P=0.024). Conclusion:Patients with incomplete resection after EP have a higher recurrence rate in the long-term follow-up. High-grade intraepithelial neoplasia is an independent risk factor for incomplete resection. Close surveillance and aggressive management are warranted for patients with positive or uncertain resection margins to mitigate the recurrence risk.
