Abstract excerpt
Well-differentiated carcinoma (WDC) accounts for up to 90% of all thyroid cancers. The presence of a minor poorly differentiated (PD) component (mainly insular pattern) might represent an additional critical parameter for patients' prognosis and outcome. The role of both CXCR4 (a chemokine inducing cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell adhesion) and BRAF mutation have been studied in WDC (mainly papillary thyroid...
