Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrate isthmus thyroid nodules are more likely to be malignant than lobar nodules. Additional data suggest that isthmus papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) are more aggressive than lobar PTCs. We hypothesize that isthmus PTCs have a more unfavorable molecular profile. METHODS: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was queried to analyze clinical, mutation and gene expression data...
