Recurrence of thyroid cancer 'could be predicted' with microRNAs

New research has found that measuring sections of genetic material within papillary thyroid cancer tumors could predict the chance of recurrence following surgery. This is according to a study published in the journal Cancer. Researchers from Australia say they also discovered that elevated blood levels of this genetic material, known as microRNAs, could also indicate an increased chance of recurrence after thyroidectomy - the surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid gland...
