Expression of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition regulators <scp>TWIST</scp>,<scp> SLUG</scp> and <scp>SNAIL</scp> in follicular thyroid tumours may relate to widely invasive, poorly differentiated and distant metastasis

Abstract

Our study supported the role of EMT in the development of follicular thyroid carcinoma and indicated that EMT regulatory proteins may play an important role in WD-FTC that are widely invasive and exhibit distant metastasis.
