## BACKGROUND. The cadherins are homotypic adhesion proteins that are important in cell sorting during organogenesis. Classic cadherins include several different types that show tissue specific expression. Specific tissue expression of cadherins often is preserved in neoplastic transformation, and

## BACKGROUND. Galectin-3 is a β€-galactoside-binding protein that has been reported to be expressed preferentially in thyroid malignancies. The current study was designed to substantiate this finding further and to establish a presurgical diagnostic modality of differentiating between benign and ma
## Abstract The identification of molecular markers allowing to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid tumors remains a diagnostic challenge. Herein, we have used the expression of the high mobility group protein gene __HMGA2__ and its protein, respectively, as a possible marker detecti
