Disease-specific Mortality of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer With Distant Metastases.

Overview: Distant metastases (DM) are the major cause of death in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This study aimed to investigate the predictors of DM-associated mortality.

Patients And Methods: We identified 154 thyroid cancer (TC) patients with DM from our institution's tumor registry.

Genetic Alterations in Pediatric Thyroid Cancer Using a Comprehensive Childhood Cancer Gene Panel.

Context: Pediatric differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) differs from adult DTC in its underlying genetics and clinicopathological features. In this report, we studied these aspects in 48 cases of pediatric DTC.

Patients And Methods: We used the comprehensive Oncomine Childhood Cancer Gene panel on Ion Torrent next-generation sequencing platform.
