Abstract excerpt
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) often presents as anatomically distinct foci in bilateral lobes. However, it remains controversial whether these foci arise independently from distinct malignant progenitor cells or result from the dissemination of the primary lesion. Fifteen pairs of bilateral PTC at Stage I were enrolled, and sequencing was performed using a 437-cancer-gene panel (Geneseeq). The entire...
