Update on Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma: Morphological, Molecular, and Genetic Features of the Most Aggressive Thyroid Cancer
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer. It shows a wide spectrum of morphological presentations and the diagnosis could be challenging due to its high degree of dedifferentiation. Molecular and genetic features of ATC are widely heterogeneous as well and many efforts have been made to find a common profile in order to clarify its cancerogenetic process....

متن کاملMolecular Biology of Thyroid Cancer
Our medical discoveries often follow advancement in biologic techniques. The use of karyotypic analysis, fluorescent in situ hybridization, candidate gene sequencing, microarray expression analysis, and whole-genome associations has helped determine the molecular defects causing thyroid cancer. These and future discovered defects will allow clear classifications, precise prognosis, and targeted...
متن کاملMolecular Biology of Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid is a H-shaped gland localised in front of trachea at the base of the neck, whose main functions are the synthesis, the storage and the secretion of thyroid hormones under the control of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis. Thyroid is comprised of spherical follicles filled with colloid that are lined by cuboidal/flat epithelial cells denoted follicular cells (or thyrocytes). The other hormo...
