“…Several histologic types of thyroid cancer have been identified, including follicular thyroid carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma 2. Although the advance on surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy has led to a favorable survival rate of thyroid cancer patients, the incidence of thyroid cancer has significantly increased worldwide over the past few decades 3, 4. Although genetic abnormalities and environmental factors have been found to be involved in thyroid carcinogenesis,5 the molecular mechanisms of thyroid carcinoma pathogenesis remain unclear.…”
