Surgery 146:1073-80. 2009..We aimed to identify loci linked to FNMTC susceptibility using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array-based linkage analysis in a broad sampling of affected families... - The number of needle passes affects the accuracy of parathyroid hormone assay with intraoperative parathyroid aspirationMarlon A Guerrero
Department of Surgery, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85724, USA
Am J Surg 200:701-5; discussion 705-6. 2010..However, the reported aspiration technique varies in the literature.

Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco Mt Zion Medical Center, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
Surgery 148:398-403. 2010..We perform CLND for PTC only in patients with enlarged nodes as determined by preoperative ultrasound and intraoperative inspection and palpation... - Clinical spectrum of pheochromocytomaMarlon A Guerrero
Department of Surgery, University of California, 1600 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
J Am Coll Surg 209:727-32. 2009..The goal of this study was to determine if tumor size and hormone level correlate according to the clinical presentation at diagnosis... 
Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography scan-positive recurrent papillary thyroid cancer and the prognosis and implications for surgical managementJennifer M J Schreinemakers

Ann Surg 250:983-90. 2009..To improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in malignant pheochromocytoma by examining differences in the gene expression profile between benign and malignant tumors... - Central neck lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer: comparison of complication and recurrence rates in 295 initial dissections and reoperationsWen T Shen
Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco Mt Zion Medical Center, 1600 Divisadero Street, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
Arch Surg 145:272-5. 2010..Critics of this approach argue that reoperative CLND has higher complication and recurrence rates than initial CLND. We sought to test this argument, using it as our hypothesis...

Expert Rev Mol Diagn 9:343-51. 2009..In this article, we discuss the limitations of the clinical management of ACC, and the gene-expression profile studies that have attempted to address these limitations...- Antineoplastic effects of decitabine, an inhibitor of DNA promoter methylation, in adrenocortical carcinoma cellsInsoo Suh
Department of Surgery and Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco, CA 94143 1674, USA
Arch Surg 145:226-32. 2010..Decitabine recovers expression of silenced genes on chromosome 11q13 and has antineoplastic effects in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) cells... - Intraoperative diagnostic strategy to distinguish parathyroid adenomas from metastatic thyroid cancerMarlon A Guerrero

Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA
Surgery 146:296-9. 2009..Because of improvements in the medical management of end-stage renal disease, some surgeons perceive that they now perform fewer operations for secondary hyperparathyroidism, and that current patients have more advanced disease... - Identification of biomarkers of adrenocortical carcinoma using genomewide gene expression profilingGustavo G Fernandez-Ranvier
