Biography

Dr. Nichole Mc Maccon is affiliated with the Department of Endocrinology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. However, the University of Guelph does not have a dedicated Department of Endocrinology; instead, endocrinological studies are integrated within departments such as Animal Biosciences and Biomedical Sciences. This suggests that Dr. Mc Maccon's work may intersect with these disciplines, focusing on endocrinological research within broader biological contexts. In 2021, Dr. Mc Maccon authored a short communication titled "A Note on Thyroid Nodule Heterogeneity," published in the Journal of Thyroid Disorders & Therapy. The article examines the development of thyroid nodules, which are abnormal growths of thyroid cells forming lumps within the thyroid gland. While most thyroid nodules are benign, a small percentage can be malignant. Dr. Mc Maccon's work emphasizes the importance of evaluating thyroid nodules to diagnose and treat potential thyroid cancers at an early stage. The publication discusses various types of thyroid nodules, including thyroiditic, cystic, hyperplastic, colloid, and neoplastic, and explores genetic factors contributing to thyroid carcinogenesis, such as mutations in the TSHR, TrK, and c-MET genes.

  A Note on Thyroid Nodule Heterogeneity
  Author(s): Nichole Mc Maccon*
  
  The term thyroid nodule an unusual development of thyroid cells that frames an irregularity inside the thyroid organ. Thyroid nodule is harmless (noncancerous), a little extent of thyroid nodule do contain thyroid disease. To analyze and treat thyroid disease at the early stage, most thyroid nodule needs some kind of assessment... View More»
