Changes of Clinicopathological Characteristics and Prognosis of Papillary Thyroid Cancer in Korea
Thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine tumor and increased across the world, especially in micropapillary thyroid cancer under 1 centimeter. Increased incidence of thyroid cancer was attributed to early diagnosis by health screening with neck ultrasonography and fine needle aspiration …

Relation between F-18 FDG Uptake of PET/CT and BRAFV600E Mutation in Papillary Thyroid Cancer
… (FDG) uptake are potential prognostic factors of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). This study was performed to investigate the relationship between the BRAFV600E mutation and F-18 FDG uptake in PTC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively included 169 PTC patients who underwent F-18 FDG positron …

Investigating the Role of Complex I Loss in Thyroid Tumorigenesis
… are considered one of the hallmarks of cancer. In 1924, Otto Warburg initially posited that defects in cellular respiration drive tumorigenesis after observing that tumor cells often perform aerobic glycolysis in culture. Since then, multiple studies have demonstrated that most tumors …

Time to surgery and thyroid cancer survival in the United States
Over the past several decades, the incidence of thyroid cancer in the United States has increased substantially surmounting to higher levels of concern for physicians around the nation. This concern led to a research investigation surrounding the increased risk thyroid cancer patients may face by …

Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor(VEGF), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1(VEGFR-1), Hypoxic Induced Factor-1alpha(HIF-1α) mRNA in Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma(PTMC)
… of angiogenesis. Recently, the incidence of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC) increased because of development in diagnostic modality. Several recent reports have documented relationship of VEGF and papillary thyroid cancer. The aims of this study were to determine whether angiogenetic …

Investigation of microRNA expression in thyroid carcinoma among South Africa patients
Objective: Thyroid cancer affects approximately 298 million people worldwide and the major challenge is reliably distinguishing patients who present with poor prognosis from those who do not. There are genetic markers that have been shown to be associated with poor clinical outcome in thyroid …

FROM NUCLEUS TO MITOCHONDRIA: INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLE OF TERT IN THE PROGRESSION OF PAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA
… and has been reported overexpressed in many cancer types. The most studied role for TERT in cancer is the regeneration of telomeres allowing the avoidance of senescence and, in turn, the continued proliferation of cancerous cells. Recent works have identified roles for the TERT protein in …

Leveraging copper chelators as targeted therapy for BRAFV600E mutant thyroid cancer
<p>The incidence of thyroid cancer, and in particular papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), is rising faster than that of any other malignancy in the United States. Thyroid cancer is now the most common endocrine cancer and the fifth most common cancer in women. While most thyroid cancers are treated …

A NOVEL BRAF SIGNALING CASCADE THROUGH p-21 ACTIVATED KINASES REGULATES THYROID CANCER CELL MOTILITY
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most frequently diagnosed form of thyroid cancer, representing the majority of all cases. For unknown reasons it is more commonly diagnosed in women then in men and over the past three decades, its incidence has been rising in the United States. It is unclear …

Risk of cervical lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma: Correlations with lymphangiogenesis and ultrasound features
… for cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in thyroid papillary carcinoma is important for providing standards for post-operative adjuvant radio-iodine therapy and for predicting patient prognosis. We investigated pathological factors based on the lymphatic vessel system and ultrasound features …

Profilo Molecolare in una Coorte di Neoplasie Tiroidee Insorte nell'Area Vulcanica della Sicilia
I tumori della tiroide rappresentano le neoplasie più frequenti del sistema endocrino. Una incidenza aumentata di tumori papillari della tiroide (PTC) è stata osservata nelle aree vulcaniche, a causa di una cronica esposizione a bassi livelli di inquinamento da metalli pesanti. Inoltre, individui …
