Background We examined the frequency of the BRAF V600E mutation and compared the
clinicopathologic features based on the BRAF V600E mutation status in multifocal papillary …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is one of the most frequent endocrine
malignancies. In most cases, it often presents as multifocal tumor. It has been reported that …

Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation among mutations in cancer-
related genes, clinicopathologic features, and clinical outcome in classical papillary thyroid …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) represents one of the most frequent
endocrine malignancies. Several factors have been found to be involved in determining the …

BACKGROUND. Papillary thyroid cancers often occur as multiple foci. Multifocal cancers
have been considered to have a poor prognosis because they are thought to be the …

Abstract Background The BRAF V600E mutation is the most common genetic alteration in
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In recent studies, the BRAF V600E mutation has been …

Background Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most prevalent type of thyroid cancer,
which is the most common type of endocrine malignancy. Stratification and personalized …

Background. BRAF V600E mutation is associated with poor prognosis in patients with
papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). PTC is often multifocal, and there are no guidelines on …

Background BRAF V600E mutation is common in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) but its
prognostic value and influence on tumor recurrence is controversial. We investigated if …

Multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (mPTC) comprises about 20-30% of PTC. In mPTC,
individual tumor foci can be identical or frequently composed of different histological types …
