Abstract
Single palpable nodules of the thyroid gland are common in clinical practice; the majority of such lesions are benign. However, noninvasive thyroid nodules that exhibit borderline morphological signs of papillary cancer represent a diagnostic challenge. Rearrangements of the RET oncogene have been proposed as a marker for papillary thyroid cancer. In this chapter, methods for the analysis of the RET oncogene in laser microdissected papillary thyroid cancer tissue are describedFile in questo prodotto:
