This month's issue of Clinical Thyroidology includes several special highlights that are not to be missed. First, we begin with the next fireside chat in the American Thyroid Association's continuing series celebrating our centennial anniversary. In this discussion, Drs. Victor Bernet and Anne Cappola reflect on their thoughts and perspectives on the topic of thyroid hormone use and abuse, framed in the history of the development of thyroid hormone replacement. Then, as part of our ongoing collaboration with the International Thyroid Oncology Group (ITOG), in an editorial Drs. Laura Boucai, Ashish Chintakuntlawar, and David Shonka, Jr., give a brief summary of the ITOG community and its past and current work in coordinating the group's available clinical trials of various advanced thyroid cancers. I hope that this excellent summary is helpful to clinicians worldwide who are managing the care of patients with metastatic or advanced disease.Moving on to the topic of pediatric thyroid disease, Dr. Gary Francis reviews a study on serum thyroid function tests in children with Down syndrome. Drs. Maryam Makowski and Elizabeth McAninch then provide their perspective on a study examining low T3 syndrome in malnourished hospitalized patients, while Dr. Anupam Kotwal reviews a study reporting a real-world experience with teprotumumab and tocilizumab use in patients with moderate-to-severe steroid-resistant thyroid eye disease.On the topic of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, Drs. Kristen HoSang and Lindsay Kuo review a study assessing the role of age in patients who undergo active surveillance of small, sonographically low-risk thyroid nodules. Meanwhile, Drs. Jessica Bindra, Matti Gild, and Venessa Tsang examine a study reporting the benefit of preoperative molecular testing of cytologically high-risk thyroid nodules, while Drs. Paul Stewardson and Mayumi Endo review how the allelic frequency of BRAF V600E and TERT promoter mutations in thyroid nodules may be a useful predictor of malignancy. The potential benefit of microwave ablation for the treatment of select micropapillary thyroid cancers is reviewed by Dr. Jie Liu. Dr. Sara Ahmadi discusses a recent study on the comparison of diffuse sclerosing, classic, and tall-cell variant papillary thyroid cancers. Finally, Drs. Ricardo Villela and Ricardo Correa summarize a recent study examining the adverse effects of radioactive iodine ablation on the lacrimal and salivary glands.I invite everyone to visit our various social media channels, where we recap the featured highlights from each month's issue and discuss other

I'm pleased to share this issue of Clinical Thyroidology, which begins with a review by Dr. Gary Francis, who summarizes a study on associations between free T3 levels and cardiometabolic events in children. Dr. Kenneth Burman provides his perspective on a study that evaluated levothyroxine formulation changes in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Related to this topic, Dr. Mayumi Endo discusses a study examining the trend of desiccated thyroid extract use in the United States. The issue also features a review by Dr. Giuseppe Barbesino of a study on the treatment of amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis and cardiovascular outcomes.On the topic of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, Drs. Erivelto Volpi and Jose Higino Steck summarizes a study reporting the preferences of patients and clinicians on the management of a cytologically indeterminate nodule. This is an appropriate introduction to the two parallel studies we review in this issue, by Drs. Anupam Kotwal and Whitney Goldner and by Giorgio Grani, on the updated performance characteristics of the Veracyte Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier and the Thyroseq (version 3) molecular tests, respectively. Drs. Terry Gao and Lindsay Kuo then provide their commentary on a study assessing shared decision-making between patients and clinicians on the management of low-risk differentiated thyroid cancers. The issue ends with an excellent summary by Dr. Theodora Pappa on a recently published phase 2 trial, on the redifferentiating role of trametinib in patients with metastatic radioactive iodine–refractory RAS-mutated differentiated thyroid cancers.I invite everyone to visit our various social media channels, where we recap the featured highlights from each month's issue and discuss other topics related to the latest clinical thyroid literature.

I'm pleased to share another issue of Clinical Thyroidology, as we continue to cover the newest and most impactful studies in the clinical thyroid literature. This issue begins with the next piece in the American Thyroid Association's (ATA) fireside chat series, prepared in celebration of the society's centennial anniversary this year. This was an interesting interview between Drs. Xiaoyin “Sara” Jiang and Ronald Ghossein on the history of thyroid cancer surgical pathology, as transcribed from their recent discussion published in our sister journal, Video Endocrinology. I invite everyone to read (and listen to) this thoughtful discussion regarding the advances made and remaining unresolved issues in the field of thyroid cancer surgical pathology.On the topic of thyroid dysfunction, Dr. Elizabeth McAninch reviews a study providing updated estimates on the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the United States, while Dr. Omar El Kawkgi summarizes a randomized controlled trial on the use of vitamin D2 supplementation in patients with Graves’ disease.The continuing clinical question of whether or not NIFTP is a malignancy is addressed in a review by Drs. Elizabeth Jacobi and Trisha Cubb, who summarize the experience recently reported by a large referral center. Dr. Joanna Klubo-Gwiezdzinska examines the outcomes of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules in an international cohort study, as informed by the delay in care incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Lindsay Bischoff describes a study that investigated the oncologic outcomes of children, adolescents, and young adults with papillary thyroid cancer, while Dr. Sara Ahmadi reviews the concerns of infertility and pregnancy in patients with papillary thyroid cancer from an Israeli epidemiologic study. An update of the Kuma Hospital experience, summarizing the longest prospective data we have of patients who undergo active surveillance for low-risk papillary thyroid cancers, is reviewed by Dr. Theodora Pappa. In a related study, Drs. Eleanor White, Venessa Tsang, and Matti Gild describe a study that assessed the anxiety levels of patients who undergo active surveillance of these cancers. Dr. Jie Liu examines a study that investigated the predictors of recurrence in low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. The issue concludes with a review by Drs. Terry Gao and Lindsay Kuo, who provide their perspective on an interesting study examining the surgical outcomes of older patients (octogenarians) who undergo thyroid surgery.I invite everyone to visit our various social media channels, where we recap the featured highlights fr
