Downregulation of miR-519d-3p is Associated with Poor Outcomes and Facilitates Tumor Progression in Papillary Thyroid Cancer by Regulating FOXQ1.

MicroRNA-519d-3p (miR-519d-3p) has emerged as a tumor suppressor in several human cancers. But whether miR-519d-3p is involved in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the potential relevance of miR-miR-519d-3p in PTC.

Downregulation of CDH16 in Papillary Thyroid Cancer and Its Potential Molecular Mechanism Analysed by qRT-PCR, TCGA and in silico Analysis.

Objective: Thyroid cancer has the highest prevalence among the cancer types that affect the endocrine system; however, its molecular mechanisms are not yet determined. Cadherin-16 (CDH16) plays an important role in the tumorigenesis of human cancers, but its influence on papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is poorly investigated. This study aimed to explore the role of CDH16 in PTC.

The lncRNA UNC5B-AS1 promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion in papillary thyroid cancer cell lines.

The incidence of thyroid cancer detection is continually improving worldwide with the spread of diagnostic imaging and surveillance. Although we have made great progress, there are still unknown mechanisms of papillary thyroid cancer. We found that UNC5B-AS1 is a potential oncogene in thyroid cancer.

Clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors for primary thyroid lymphoma: report on 28 Chinese patients and results of a population-based study.

Objectives: Few studies on prognostic indicators for primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) have been presented due to the uncommon nature of the tumor. This is the first study to explore the independent prognostic factors in the 2 PTL subtypes.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1,653 cases of PTL.

TEKT4 Promotes Papillary Thyroid Cancer Cell Proliferation, Colony Formation, and Metastasis through Activating PI3K/Akt Pathway.

Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system worldwide, but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Some diseases are associated with TEKT4 gene. However, its role in thyroid carcinoma has yet to be fully examined.

Clinical effect of and its relevance to V600E mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma: a case-control study.

Aim: To investigate the clinical effects of on papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and explore the relationship between expression and mutation.

Methods: The data of 69 patients subjected to fine-needle aspiration biopsy in our hospital and 486 patient data downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were used. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed.

Predictive Factors of Skip Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

BACKGROUND Skip metastasis is defined as metastasis incident to the lateral compartment without involvement of the central compartment, and is generally unpredictable in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The present study aimed to investigate the frequency and predictor value of skip metastasis in PTC patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 355 patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer who had received a prior complete thyroidectomy with bilateral central neck and ipsilateral lateral neck lymph node dissection were enrolled in this study.

Correlation of Cystatin E/M with Clinicopathological Features and Prognosis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Background: Among all kinds of breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive, with the poorest prognosis and highest mortality rates. Thus, novel biomarkers that personalize the therapeutic regimen and evaluate prognosis for TNBC patients should be determined.

Methods: We analyzed the cystatin E/M (CST6) expression profiles of 161 TNBC tissues and 14 noncancerous tissues through multiple statistical analyses.

A novel tumor suppressor gene is correlated with progression in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background: In contrast to the excellent prognosis for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the high incidence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) markedly increases the risk of recurrence and secondary surgery. Thus, novel biomarkers must be urgently identified to assess LNM for patients with PTC. NCOA5 is deeply involved in the progression of human cancer; however, its role in thyroid cancer remains unknown.

Upregulated LAMB3 increases proliferation and metastasis in thyroid cancer.

Background: Thyroid cancer is the most commonly reported endocrine malignancy, and its increased incidence has been the highest in all human tumors in recent decades. To investigate the mechanism of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) occurrence and progression, we performed RNA sequencing and found an upregulated gene, . However, the biological function of is still not clear.

GABRB2 plays an important role in the lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer.

Background: Thyroid cancer is a common malignant tumor of the endocrine system. Its incidence has increased continuously worldwide for the past three decades. With advanced sequencing technology, we discovered that GABRB2 gene is overexpressed in tumor tissues and closely associated with vertebrate nervous systems.

ZCCHC12, a novel oncogene in papillary thyroid cancer.

Purpose: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy worldwide. The molecular mechanisms underlying thyroid tumorigenesis remain unclear. Some studies suggested that the ZCCHC12 gene correlates with certain diseases.

Next-generation sequence detects as a novel oncogene in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Purpose: Thyroid cancer is the most frequent malignancies of the endocrine system, and it has became the fastest growing type of cancer worldwide. Much still remains unknown about the molecular mechanisms of thyroid cancer. Studies have found that some certain relationship between and human cancer.

A panel of four genes accurately differentiates benign from malignant thyroid nodules.

Background: Clinicians are confronted with an increasing number of patients with thyroid nodules. Reliable preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules remains a challenge because of inconclusive cytological examination of fine-needle aspiration biopsies. Although molecular analysis of thyroid tissue has shown promise as a diagnostic tool in recent years, it has not been successfully applied in routine clinical use, particularly in Chinese patients.

Preoperative endoscopic localization of colorectal cancer and tracing lymph nodes by using carbon nanoparticles in laparoscopy.

Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative endoscopic localization of colorectal cancer and tracing lymph nodes by carbon nanoparticle tattooing in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Methods: From January 2013 to December 2014, 54 patients with colorectal cancer were recruited and divided into experimental (n = 27) and control (n = 27) groups. The patients in the experimental group were localized preoperatively by endoscopic carbon nanoparticle tattooing, whereas patients in the control group were not tattooed.
