Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study was undertaken to investigate the genetic factors underlying the development of multifocality and phenotypic diversity in multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (mPTC). METHODS: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and BRAF(V600E) mutation status were analysed in a total of 55 individual tumour foci from 18 cases of mPTC. The genetic findings and morphology of tumour foci were then compared. RESULTS:...
