Clinical, Histopathological, and Molecular Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma

Abstract

Many patients with PTMC had clinical and histopathological poor prognostic factors. The expression of molecular markers, such as EGFR and COX-2, may have a role in the prognosis of PTMC. When considering all of the prognostic factors, a more tailored management approach appears to be necessary for patients with PTMC.
