Introduction: Improper management of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients results in potentially higher fatal outcomes due to a lack of relevant prognostic markers, inadequate periodic individualized risk assessments and/or insufficient initial treatment. MiR-146b, -21, -221, -222, -181b are potential biomarkers for risk stratification in PTC.Aim: The aim of our study was to analyze expression levels of five miRNA molecules (miR-21; miR -221; miR -...

Introduction: Multifocality empirically is often treated as a risk factor for aggressive course of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), encouraging aggressive treatments. However, inconsistency and even contradiction in a literature is present concerning the role of tumor multifocality in clinical outcomes of PTC. Therefore, the prognostic value of multifocality of PTC remains controversial, creating a difficulty in the current clinical management.Methods....
