Clinical Routine TERT Promoter Mutational Screening of Follicular Thyroid Tumors of Uncertain Malignant Potential (FT-UMPs): A Useful Predictor of Metastatic Disease
26 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene promoter are recurrently found in follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and follicular tumors of uncertain malignant potential (FT-UMP), but nearly never in follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA). We, therefore, believe these mutations could signify malignant potential. At our department, postoperative TERT promoter mutational testing of FT-UMPs was implemented...
