Clinicopathologic Features of Familial Nonmedullary Thyroid Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Familial nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma (FNMTC) is a variant of nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma(NMTC) with particular clinicopathologic features. In recent years, a number of studies have shown that FNMTC is more invasive than sporadic NMTC(SNMTC). The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in clinicopathologic features of FNMTC between different types of families and to...

BACKGROUND Nonmedullary thyroid carcinomas (NMTCs) originate from the thyroid epithelial cells and, until recently, were thought to arise sporadically without an inherited genetic predisposition. However, evidence of a familial predisposition to NMTC is accumulating.

متن کاملFamilial Nonmedullary Thyroid Cancer
FAMILIAL NONMEDULLARY THYROID CANCER (Abstract): Follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer which represents 90-95% of all thyroid malignancies may occur in at least 5% of cases as familial disease. Familial nonmedullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC) is defined as the existence of two or more first degree relatives affected within a family. FNMTC may occur in two situations: pure FNMTC in which FNMTC is t...
متن کاملFamilial Nonmedullary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Analysis of 117 Families
Background The first and most important step in characterizing familial nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma (NMTC) is to distinguish the true familial patients, which is the prerequisite for all accurate analyses. This study aimed to investigate whether patients from families with ≥3 first-degree relatives affected with NMTC have different characteristics than patients from families with only two af...
متن کاملFAP Associated Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Peculiar Subtype of Familial Nonmedullary Thyroid Cancer
Familial Nonmedullary Thyroid Carcinoma (FNMTC) makes up to 5-10% of all thyroid cancers, also including those FNMTC occurring as a minor component of familial cancer syndromes, such as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP). We give evidence that this extracolonic manifestation of FAP is determined by the same germline mutation of the APC gene responsible for colonic polyps and cancer but also s...
