Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) are very rare tumors with extremely aggressive behavior. Their comprehensive genetic background is still unclear. Some of the main genetic changes of differentiated thyroid carcinomas, such as mutations in BRAF and RAS genes, as well as changes in CTNNB1, PIK3CA, TP53, AXIN1, PTEN or APC genes leading to the...
