Carcinoma papilar da tiróide

Abstract

Os carcinomas da tiróide são as neoplasias malignas endócrinas mais comuns, embora representem apenas cerca de 1% de todas as neoplasias. Traduzem-se geralmente por um nódulo solitário da tiróide, assintomático, apresentação que é também frequente nas doenças benignas desta glândula. O carcinoma papilar da tiróide corresponde a 85-90% dos carcinomas da tiróide (Kam-Tsung et al, 2010) e a sua incidência tem vindo a aumentar por factores ainda não completamente esclarecidos. Trata-se de um carcinoma bem diferenciadoque geralmente tem um crescimento lento e é clinicamente indolente, apresentando um bom prognóstico. No entanto, podem ocorrer formas agressivas com disseminação tumoral, mais frequentemente a nível locoregional mas também à distância, geralmente por via linfática para pulmão e osso. É a neoplasia a tiróide mais frequentemente relacionada com exposição a radiações ionizantes e na sua oncogénese estão envolvidas várias alterações genéticas que envolvem a transdução de sinal ao longo da via MAPK. As mutações BRAF constituem a alteração genética mais comum no carcinoma papilar da tiróide, sendo que mais de 90% são mutações BRAFV600E. Estas ocorrem exclusivamente no carcinoma papilar e no carcinoma anaplásico derivado do carcinoma papilar e parecem estar associadas a tumores mais agressivos, disseminação tumoral e metástases linfáticas, constituindo um potencial útil marcador molecular na avaliação do carcinoma papilar da tiróide. Os métodos de diagnóstico e tratamento do carcinoma da tiróide estão em constante evolução. A ecografia de alta resolução tendo, actualmente, um papel importante não só na avaliação dos nódulos, mas também na detecção de gânglios cervicais suspeitos, e a citologia aspirativa 7 por agulha fina sendo minimamente invasiva, são os procedimentos de primeira linha no diagnóstico. Actualmente o tratamento baseia-se essencialmente na cirurgia (tiroidectomia total ou quase total), com ou sem esvaziamento ganglionar, tratamento com Iodo 131 e supressão TSH com levotiroxina. O desenvolvimento de novas estratégias terapêuticas, baseadas principalmente na inibição de mediadores moleculares chave do processo oncogénico, como os inibidores de tirosina cinase, poderá melhorar o prognóstico de neoplasias disseminadas refractárias à terapêutica actual. Um seguimento atento dos doentes através da realização periódica de ecografia, doseamento de tiroglobulina e cintigrafias corporais permite a detecção e tratamento precoces de doença persistente ou recorrente

Thyroid carcinomas are the most common endocrine malignancy, although they represent only about 1% of all malignancies. They are reflected usually by a solitary asymptomatic thyroid nodule, this presentation is also usual in benign diseases of this gland. Papillary thyroid carcinoma accounts for 85-90%% of thyroid carcinomas (Kam-Tsung et al, 2010) and its incidence is increased by factors that haven’t yet been fully understood. It is a cancer that usually has a slow growth and it is clinically indolent, with a good prognosis. However, aggressive forms can occur with tumor spread, most often at local-regional level but also at a distance, usually via the lymphatic system for lung and bone. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the cancer most frequently related with exposure to ionizing radiation and its oncogenesis involves many genetic alterations that involve signal transduction along the MAPK pathway. BRAF mutations are the most common genetic alteration in this carcinoma, and in more than 90% are mutations BRAFV600E. This occurs exclusively in papillary carcinoma and anaplastic carcinoma papillary derived, and appears to be associated with more aggressive tumors, tumor spread and lymph node metastases, providing a potentially useful molecular marker in the evaluation of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The methods of diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer are constantly evolving. The highresolution ultrasound has now an important role not only in the evaluation of the nodules, but also in detecting suspicious cervical lymph nodes, and fine needle aspiration as a minimally invasive procedure, these are the first line in diagnosis. Currently the treatment is mainly based on surgery (total or near total thyroidectomy), with or without lymph node dissection, iodine 131 treatment and TSH suppression with 5 levothyroxine. The development of new therapeutic strategies, based mainly on the inhibition of key molecular mediators of the oncogenic process, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, may improve the prognosis of disseminated cancers refractory to current therapy. A close monitoring of patients by conducting periodic ultrasound, scintigraphy and thyroglobulin measurement allows early detection and treatment of persistent or recurrent disease.
