The Genetic Duet of BRAF V600E and TERT Promoter Mutations Robustly Predicts Loss of Radioiodine Avidity in Recurrent Papillary Thyroid Cancer
2 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BRAF V600E and TERT promoter mutations, particularly their genetic duet, are well known to be associated with poor clinical outcomes of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Loss of radioactive iodine (RAI) avidity in recurrent PTC is a major cause of treatment failure and hence poor clinical outcomes. This study investigated the role of mutation patterns in loss of RAI avidity in recurrent PTC. Methods: This was a...
