Genetic and Clinicopathologic Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in the Chinese Population: High BRAF Mutation Allele Frequency, Multiple Driver Gene Mutations, and RET Fusion May Indicate More Advanced TN Stage.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To describe the genetic landscape and clinical characteristics of Chinese patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and to determine which high-risk genetic characteristics suggest a likelihood of lymph node metastasis (LNM) and lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: -test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test were performed for statistical analysis. RESULTS:...
