Dr. Maxaime Donald is a distinguished endocrinologist affiliated with the Department of Internal Medicine Endocrinology in Coimbra, Portugal. His expertise lies in the management and treatment of thyroid disorders, with a particular focus on papillary thyroid carcinoma. In 2021, Dr. Donald authored a pivotal article titled "Monitoring and Therapy of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma," published in the Journal of Thyroid Disorders & Therapy. This work examines the evolving strategies in thyroid cancer management over the past decade, emphasizing the increased reliance on serum thyroglobulin measurements and neck ultrasonography for detecting recurrent disease. Dr. Donald discusses the shift away from routine diagnostic whole-body radioactive iodine scanning, highlighting the importance of these newer modalities in identifying asymptomatic patients with low-level persistent disease. He also explores the complexities of managing such cases, referencing various guidelines to delineate areas of consensus and potential reasons for differing recommendations. This article underscores Dr. Donald's commitment to advancing thyroid cancer care through evidence-based practices.

  The most recent 10 years have seen a significant change in outlook in the administration of thyroid malignancy, with more noteworthy dependence on serum thyroglobulin and neck ultrasonography, and less accentuation on routine analytic entire body radioactive iodine checking for discovery of repetitive sickness. As our subsequent tests become more for recognition of intermittent sickness, we are discovering numerous asymptomatic patients who have low-level steady illness numerous years after beginning treatment that might profit from extra testing and treatment. These troublesome issues have been the five unique arrangements of rules distributed with different thyroid strength associations in individuals. In this article, the writers investigate the proposals from the different rules trying to characterize spaces of agreement and investigate potential explanations be.. View More»
