Effect of thyroidectomy on circulating angiogenic cytokines in papillary thyroid carcinoma and benign goiter: Potential for new biomarkers?

Circulating angiogenic factors have been associated with clinical outcomes of papillary thyroid carcinoma, although they may also be released in the context of benign multinodular goiter. We sought to investigate the effect of thyroidectomy on the activity and importance of multiple circulating angiogenic factors in papillary thyroid carcinoma and benign multinodular goiter.
