New insights in the molecular signature of advanced medullary thyroid cancer: evidence of a bad outcome of cases with double <i>RET</i> mutations
28 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Background The RET proto-oncogene is responsible for the pathogenesis of hereditary (98%) and sporadic (40%) medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). In sporadic MTC, somatic RET mutations are associated with a poor prognosis. Objectives We looked at the genetic profile of patients with advanced and metastatic MTC. The correlation between these mutations and outcome was also investigated. Methods 70 patients with...
