Recurrence After Thyroid Cancer Can be Predicted And Monitored By Measuring Segments of Genetic Material

The presence of short segments of genetic material (known as microRNA) within papillary thyroid cancer tumors suggests a likelihood of recurrence after patients undergo surgery, finds a new analysis. The study, which is published early online in iCANCER/i, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, also found that elevated blood levels of the genetic material after surgery may indicate a higher possibility of recurrence after thyroidectomy. MicroRNAs ...
