Cytokeratin 19, thyroperoxidase, HBME-1 and galectin-3 in evaluation of aggressive behavior of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Abstract

High expression of CK19 and negative expression of TPO indicate total tumor diameter of PTC, but expression of CK19, TPO, HBME-1 and GAL3 has no values in the identification of PTCs with other potentially aggressive behavior.
