Prognostic value of codon 918 (ATG?ACG)RET proto-oncogene mutations in sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
We have determined the frequency of 918 RET proto-oncogene mutations (ATG-->ACG) in primary MTC tumors and metastases and correlated the presence or absence of this mutation with the clinical outcome of patients suffering from sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). A total of 197 samples, consisting of both primary tumors and lymph node metastases from 34 patients with sporadic MTC, were collected for PCR...
