Summary

Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy.Papillary thyroid carcinomas and follicular thyroid carcinomas account for 95% of all thyroid cancer cases. They are clinically classified as well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas due to their biological behavior resembling normal follicular cells and good responsiveness to surgery and radioiodine therapy . However, they are usually curable when discovered at early stages, but survival rates may be reduced from 100% in stages I and II to 50% at stage IV So,early detection is the key for successful treatment and reduction of mortality.

pathological analysis by fine-needle aspiration biopsies has some limitations including difficulty in sampling small tumors, inconclusive diagnosis in up to 35% of patients and bleeding. Thus, biomarkers for diagnosis are needed.
