BACKGROUND: The BRAF(V600E) mutation is present in 62% of radioactive iodine-resistant thyroid tumors and is associated with downregulation of the sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHr). We sought to evaluate the combined effect of BRAF inhibition and TSH supplementation on (131)I uptake of BRAF(V600E)-mutant human thyroid cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: WRO cells (a...
