Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most frequently occurring endocrine malignancy, with an increasing rate of incidence over the last three decades. Generally, PTC has an excellent prognosis with a relatively low mortality rate, but a small portion of PTC patients suffers from an aggressive form of the disease with tumor invasion and metastasis. Analysis of miRNAs expression data may improve perioperative decision making for patients with PTC. <p class="a...

BackgroundMany microRNAs (miRNA) have been proposed as promising molecular markers of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, there are limited data on the correlation between miRNA expression, and neck lymph node metastasis. Analysis of miRNAs expression data may improve perioperative decision making for patients with PTC, specifically in identifying patients harboring neck lymph node metastases (LNM).Aim of the study<p cl...
