A gene expression signature distinguishes normal tissues of sporadic and radiation-induced papillary thyroid carcinomas
24 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) incidence increased dramatically in children after the Chernobyl accident, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the molecular features of radiation-induced thyroid cancer. In contrast to the previous studies that included age-related confounding factors, we investigated mRNA expression in PTC and in the normal contralateral tissues of patients exposed and...
