Abstract excerpt
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutation has been reported to be associated with aggressive characteristics in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This study examined the status of TERT mutation in distant metastatic DTC and evaluated the correlation between TERT mutation and radioiodine uptake, as well as that between TERT mutation and therapy response. METHODS: TERT promoter and B-Raf...
