Background: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive type of thyroid cancer and has no effective therapy. Due to its dismal prognosis, it is vital to understand the genetic alterations of ATC and identify effective molecular targets. We performed targeted next-generation sequencing to investigate the mutational profile of ATC using a massive parallel sequencing approach.Methods: DNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archival samples...

BackgroundAggressive variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) have been described with increasing frequency and are associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. However, limited data exists on the comprehensive genetic profile of these variants.MethodWe performed targeted next generation sequencing in 36 patients with aggressive variants of PTC and compared it to PTC from The Cancer Genome Atlas projec...
