## Abstract ## Background. An activating point mutation of the __BRAF__ oncogene results in a V600E amino acid missense mutation found in a majority of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). ## Methods. In this study, 28 matched tumor and serum samples obtained from patients with both benign and ma
To assess the value of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma after ablative therapy simultaneous Tg estimations and radioiodine (I3'I) scans were performed on patients during an 18-month follow-up period. In this study, 287 scans were performed on 200 p
Background and Objectives: Differences in the expression levels of Thyroglobulin (Tg), Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R) in primary and recurrent specimens under a suppressive serum TSH condition were elucidated in 26 papillary carcinoma patients. Methods: Immunohistochemical
## Abstract ## Background Despite the generally favorable prognosis of patients with papillary thyroid cancers, 10βyear recurrence rates for patients with stage I to III disease is greater than 20%, with central compartment recurrences common among these recurrent sites. ## Methods This study is
