Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with Terminal Immune Exhaustion Phenotype Correlates with Increased Risk of Lymph Node Metastasis: A Combined Flow Cytometry and TCGA Validation Study
2026-07-31
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy, with lymph node metastasis (LNM) being a key predictor of recurrence and poor prognosis. Preoperative detection of LNM remains challenging due to the limitations of imaging modalities, leading to inadequate surgical resection in 20-30% of patients. While immune checkpoint molecules have been implicated in PTC progression...
