The ability of thyroid cell to accumulate iodine is due to presence of sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) maintain ability to express NIS and thus it makes possible to perform RAI treatment. In case of DTC cells loss the ability of NIS protein production and cell membrane embedding that leads to RAI treatment fail.The aim of our study was to find a relationship between the level of preoperatively defined NIS and recurrence...

There were evaluated galectin-3 expression in 66 fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens from patients with thyroid gland nodules by flow cytometry method. We include in our study 29 patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), 31 – with follicular neoplasia, 6 – with nodular colloid goiter by cytological examination. For specimens analysis, taken by FNAB of thyroid gland nodules, were used indirect immunofluorence method /Coons/.Result...
