2. 1. Molecular aspects of post-Chornobyl and sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma

   Author : Andrii Dinets; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : papillary thyroid carcinoma;

   Abstract : Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) exhibits various molecular abnormalities, both when sporadic and radiation-related. PTC is still diagnosed in adult individuals who were younger than 18 years at the time of the Chornobyl accident in 1986 and lived within the contaminated area. READ MORE

4. 2. Clinical and molecuar studies of papillary thyroid carcinoma : with an emphasis on prognostic factors

   Abstract : Thyroid cancer accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers reported. In Sweden 45/100, 000 inhabitants annually present with thyroid carcinoma. There are four different variants of thyroid carcinoma: papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. READ MORE

5. 3. Diagnostic and prognostic markers in thyroid carcinoma with focus on TERT activation

   Author : Ninni Mu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Well-differentiated follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas are usually categorized into papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), which represent the most common and second most common types of thyroid carcinoma, respectively. PTC patients generally have a good prognosis, although a subset of patients progress in their disease with poor clinical outcome. READ MORE

   Abstract : Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare and highly aggressive thyroid malignancy, usually resistant to conventional therapeutic strategies. The prognosis of ATC is extremely poor with a median survival rate of 6 months. Current treatment therapy includes surgical resection in combination with external radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

   Abstract : Tumors of the thyroid gland are common among the general population, but only a small proportion is malignant. The vast majority of thyroid tumors are benign, so called follicular adenomas. Sometimes subtypes such as atypical adenomas and adenomas with oxyphil, i.e. READ MORE
