Abstract: |
ackground: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common
histological type of thyroid cancer. Fortunately, most PTC patients have
favorable outcomes, but about 20% of patients,have distant metastases.
Therefore, the exploration of new biomarkers to know new characteristics
of PTC should be updated.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the possible role of Dynamin-2 and
Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (Anglp2) as novel prognostic markers for
papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Material and Methods: In our study, we investigated the expression of
DNM2 and Anglp2 in 60 cases of PTC . The clinical significance of the
markers was evaluated by assessing correlation with the
clinicopathological parameters.
Results: High DNM2 expression PTC was significantly associated with
advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, recurrence and death (
p<0.002,0.018, <0.001, <0.001respectivelly).High expression levels of
Anglp2 in PTC were significantly associated with advanced tumor stage,
, recurrence and death (p <0.004, ,p= 0.004,p=0.003 respectively).
Conclusions: DNM2 and Anglp2 were independent PTC markers
indicating more likely recurrence and poor prognosis. Expression may
help to select the high-risk patients for adjuvant targeted therapy.
