Molecular Profile and Clinical-Pathologic Features of the Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: An Unusually High Prevalence of ras Mutations
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
The follicular variant (FV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma is characterized by a follicular growth pattern and cytologic features of papillary carcinoma. ret/PTC rearrangements are common in classic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and PAX8-PPAR gamma and ras mutations in follicular thyroid carcinoma. Their prevalence in FV has not been established. We studied these genetic alterations and clinical-pathologic...
