5. Molecular Epidemiology of Thyroid Cancer

نویسنده

  • MARTIN SCHLUMBERGER
چکیده

Molecular biology studies have greatly enhanced our knowledge of thyroid tumorigenesis, although their impact in clinical practice is still negligible. Most benign and malignant thyroid tumors have a monoclonal origin, suggesting that genetic events are responsible for their occurrence (34). These may involve the activation of oncogenes or the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes. Several genetic abnormalities (point mutations or gene rearrangements) have been evidenced in human thyroid tumors (review in 14,40,53). Several in vitro and in vivo animal models, including transgenic mice that reproduce the human situations, are also available.

RET proto-oncogene mutations in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer: a review article

Medullary thyroid cancer accounts for 5-10% of thyroid carcinomas. RET proto-oncogene mutations occur in all of the hereditary MTCs and about 66% of the sporadic MTCs. So, the detection of the RET mutations is necessary for rapid and proper diagnosis and treatment. This systematic review seeks to find a comprehensive list of RET gene mutations in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer. The ...

PI3K/Akt/mTOR and CDK4 combined inhibition enhanced apoptosis of thyroid cancer cell lines

Introduction Thyroid cancer is a malignant disease with poor prognosis. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 (CDK4) pathways are vital regulators of tumor cell proliferation and survival. Therefore the present study was designed to use dual inhibition of such pathways to kill thyroid cancer cells. Methods and materials The effects of each inhibitors on human ATC and...
