Four years following resection of a medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, a 49-year-old man experienced elevated serum calcitonin levels. There was no evidence of metastasis. A re-exploration of the patient's neck demonstrated a histologically normal thyroid remnant that demonstrated C-cell hyperplasi

To understand the expression and role of thyroid hormone nuclear receptors (TRs) in hepatocarcinogenesis, we characterized the TRs in 16 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens. The full-length cDNAs for the two TR subtypes, a1 and b1, were cloned from several tumors by reverse transcription±
## Abstract The expression of estrogen receptors, ESR1 (ERα) and ESR2 (ERβ), and androgen receptors (AR) in the thyroid gland has been reported in few vertebrate species other than a few mammals. This study reports the presence of sex steroid hormone receptors and thyroid receptors (ERα, ERβ, AR, T
Thyroid carcinomas no longer accessible to radio-iodide or TSH-suppressive T4 therapy, due to loss of thyroid-specific functions, might be sufficiently re-differentiated by retinoic acid (RA) to be treated by conventional methods again. To help evaluate the feasibility of RA re-differentiation thera
A review of the role of steroid hormone receptors and hormonal dependence of renal cell carcinoma in certain patients is presented. The results of a cumulative series of estrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptor assays performed on 48 normal and malignant human renal tumor specimens are given. T
