Thyroid papillary carcinoma combined with primary follicular lymphoma: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) stands out as the most prevalent epithelial malignant thyroid tumor. Thyroid primary follicular lymphoma (PFL) represents a rare malignant tumor originating from mesenchymal tissues. The concurrent occurrence of PTC and PFL is exceptionally rare, particularly in the context of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, presenting significant challenges in clinical diagnosis and treatment. CASE DEMONSTRATION: A 44-year-old female patient presented with a neck mass persisting for over 1 month. The patient underwent surgery, and the incised tissues were subjected to pathology examinations, along with immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing tests suggestive of an EZH2 gene mutation in the tumor cells. The final pathological diagnosis confirmed the presence of PTC combined with PFL. Following a 27-month follow-up, the patient displayed no signs of recurrence or metastasis. CONCLUSIONS: The concurrent occurrence of PTC and PFL poses notable challenges in clinical practice, requiring careful consideration in diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a rare case of PTC combined with PFL featuring an EZH2 gene mutation, which can be easily overlooked in the context of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The patient's favorable response to surgical and radiotherapeutic interventions underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies in similar cases.

Factors influencing TSH suppression efficacy in postoperative papillary thyroid carcinoma patients: a retrospective cohort study.

OBJECTIVES: While surgery plays a crucial role in treating papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the potential effects of subsequent TSH suppression therapy on prognosis should not be overlooked. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence postoperative TSH suppression therapy in patients with PTC. METHODS: This study was a retrospective cohort study conducted at our hospital. It included 268 patients who underwent surgery and were pathologically diagnosed with PTC between February 2019 and February 2021. The selected patients received postoperative TSH suppression therapy. Based on the TSH level measured 12 months after surgery, the patients were divided into two groups: TSH level conforming group (n = 80) and non-conforming group (n = 188). We then compared the general clinical data, clinicopathological characteristics, preoperative laboratory test indicators, postoperative levothyroxine sodium tablet dosage, follow-up frequency, and thyroid function-related indicators between the two groups of patients. The correlation between the observed indicators and the success of TSH suppression therapy was further analyzed, leading to the identification of influencing factors for TSH suppression therapy. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in general clinical data and clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups of patients (P > 0.05). The proportion of patients with preoperative TSH ≥ 2.0 mU/L was higher in the non-conforming group compared to the TSH level conforming group (P < 0.05), and the ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve for the preoperative TSH index was 0.610 (P < 0.05). The proportion of patients in the TSH level conforming group who took oral levothyroxine sodium tablets at a dose of ≥ 1.4 µg/kg·d after surgery was higher (P < 0.05). The postoperative levels of FT3 and FT4 were higher in the TSH level conforming group (P < 0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analysis indicated that factors "Postoperative TSH level ≥ 2 mU/L", "Levothyroxine sodium tablet dose<1.4 µg/kg·d", and "Combined with Hashimoto thyroiditis" were significantly associated with an elevated risk of postoperative TSH levels failing to reach the target (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Optimal thyroid function in patients with PTC post-surgery is best achieved when adjusting the dose of levothyroxine sodium in a timely manner to reach the target TSH level during follow-up visits.

A pan-cancer analysis of the prognosis and immune infiltration of eEF1A2 and its potential function in thyroid carcinoma.

Purpose: Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1α2 (eEF1A2) promotes tumour progression in various cancers. We performed a pan-cancer analysis of eEF1A2 and explored its role in thyroid carcinoma (THCA). Methods: Databases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the University of Alabama at Birmingham Cancer data analysis Portal (UALCAN), and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) were used to investigate the differential expression of eEF1A2 in pan-cancer. The pathological stage, prognostic characteristics, tumour microenvironment (TME), tumour mutational burden (TMB), and microsatellite instability (MSI) were analysed in diverse tumours with different expression levels of eEF1A2. The expression levels in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and its specific role in cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and cell glycolysis in PTC cells were verified by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, cell counting kit-8, colony formation, wound healing, Transwell assay, and lactate acid and glucose assays.Results:eEF1A2 was differentially expressed in various malignant tumour tissues compared to control tissues and was associated with poor pathological stage and prognosis in most types of tumours. Moreover, eEF1A2 expression closely correlated with the infiltration of immunosuppressive cells, TMB, and MSI in some tumour types. Expression of eEF1A2 in PTC is higher than the para-carcinoma, and eEF1A2 downregulation suppressed TPC-1 and BCPAP cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and glycolysis. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the expression of eEF1A2 is related to the prognosis and immune infiltration of some tumours and may be a predictor of prognosis and immunotherapy. eEF1A2 could promote malignant behaviour of PTC cells.

Thyroid poorly differentiated carcinoma metastatic to pancreas diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration and demonstrating a novel BRAF fusion.

Differentiating pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma from metastasis can be challenging by morphology alone. Metastasis from a classic papillary thyroid carcinoma can present as a poorly differentiated carcinoma and mimic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma's morphology.

A risk stratification system developed to predict contralateral incidental malignant foci in early papillary thyroid carcinoma preoperatively.

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, contralateral incidental malignant foci (CIMFs) can be found in some early (cT1N0M0) papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) on postoperative pathological examination. To screen out the patients with high risk of CIMF preoperatively would help in determining the extent of thyroid surgery. METHODS: From October 2016 to February 2021, 332 patients diagnosed with early (cT1N0M0) PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy were included and randomly allocated into a training dataset (n = 233) and a test dataset (n = 99). Demographic and clinicopathological features were recorded and analyzed using logistic regression analysis. A coefficient-based nomogram was developed and validated. RESULTS: Logistic regression analyses revealed that the predictive model including BRAF V600E mutation, multifocality and margin of the contralateral nodule achieved the best diagnostic performance. The nomogram showed good discrimination, with AUCs of 0.795 (95 % CI, 0.736-0.853) for the training set and 0.726 (95 % CI, 0.609-0.843) for the test set. The calibration curve of the nomogram presented good agreement. CONCLUSION: The risk stratification system can be used to quantify the probability of CIMF and may assist in helping the patients choose total thyroidectomy or thyroid lobectomy with early (cT1N0M0) PTC.

Thyroid Carcinoma Arising From Struma Ovarii at Adolescence: A Challenging Case With Favorable Outcome.

Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) is a rare and aggressive ovarian tumor that mostly affects adults but can occur in adolescents. Prompt recognition, accurate diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management are essential for favorable outcomes. Herein, we report the youngest case of an 11-year-old girl with a large MSO. First, conventional imaging revealed a large left ovarian mass, leading to a left oophorectomy. Subsequently, histopathological examination confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma within MSO. Thyroid and fertility-preserving surgery were chosen after multidisciplinary consultation. Despite challenges, the patient had a positive outcome with no recurrence after 36 months. Therefore, the adoption of less invasive surgical approaches and vigilant follow-up can achieve remission, but more research is needed to further enhance our understanding of the disease's risk stratification and optimal treatment strategies.

An Extremely Rare Case of Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Arising in Malignant Struma Ovarii and Concurrent Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Study.

Ovarian tumors can be classified by their origin - epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, and stromal tumors. Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) are 0.01% of all ovarian tumors. In order to be classified as a struma ovarii, more than 50% of the teratoma consists of thyroid tissue. The thyroid tissue in the struma ovarii exhibits the same histological and physiological properties as that of the cervical thyroid tissue. Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is an extremely rare occurrence when arising from an MSO. Including this case report, there are only 10 reports of PDTC in the setting of MSO. Of these cases, this patient is the only one who presented with concurrent primary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This case study examines how invaluable intra-professional collaboration is for appropriate diagnosis, along with attention to detail of identifying markers in pathology sections and use of the appropriate immunohistochemical analysis.

Soluble DPP4 can act as a diagnostic biomarker in Hashimoto's thyroiditis with thyroid papillary carcinoma.

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an independent risk factor for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. The incidence of PTC in patients with HT is significantly elevated, and the presence of both HT and PTC contributes to a higher rate of misdiagnosis. Materials and Methods: Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed on the thyroid nodule gene chip dataset from GEO Datasets. Serum and clinical data from 191 patients with thyroid nodules at the affiliated hospital were collected for analysis. Experimental techniques, including real-time quantitative PCR, ELISA, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and enzyme activity detection, were used to measure the level of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) in thyroid nodule tissues and serum. Results: Thyroid nodules in patients with HT and PTC exhibit high levels of DPP4, along with elevated concentrations of soluble DPP4 in the serum. These findings demonstrate the potential predictive value of soluble DPP4 for PTC diagnosis. Conclusions: The concentration and enzymatic activity of soluble DPP4 in serum can serve as diagnostic biomarkers for patients with HT-associated PTC.

Ultrasonic Feature Prediction of Large-Number Central Lymph Node Metastasis in Clinically Node-Negative Solitary Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to investigate the preoperative prediction of large-number central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in single thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC) with negative clinical lymph nodes. METHODS: A total of 634 patients with clinically lymph node-negative single PTC who underwent thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and the Nanchong Central Hospital between September 2018 and September 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the CLNM status, the patients were divided into two groups: small-number (≤5 metastatic lymph nodes) and large-number (>5 metastatic lymph nodes). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the independent predictors of large-number CLNM. Simultaneously, a nomogram based on risk factors was established to predict large-number CLNM. RESULTS: The incidence of large-number CLNM was 7.7%. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that age, tumor size, and calcification were independent risk factors for predicting large-number CLNM. The combination of the three independent predictors achieved an AUC of 0.806. Based on the identified risk factors that can predict large-number CLNM, a nomogram was developed. The analysis of the calibration map showed that the nomogram had good performance and clinical application. CONCLUSION: In patients with single PTC with negative clinical lymph nodes large-number CLNM is related to age, size, and calcification in patients with a single PTC with negative clinical lymph nodes. Surgeons and radiologists should pay more attention to patients with these risk factors. A nomogram can help guide the surgical decision for PTC.

A 15-year-old Girl with a Lateral Neck Mass Turning Out to Be Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma-Lateral Ectopic Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma or Lymph Node Metastasis?

Lateral neck lesions in children are common and involve various infectious or inflammatory etiologies as well as embryological remnants such as branchial cleft cysts. Although unusual, ectopic thyroid tissue can also present as a lateral neck mass. Here, we present an unusual case of a 15-year-old girl treated for an asymptomatic lateral neck mass that after surgical removal was found to be papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, after removal of the thyroid gland, no primary thyroid tumor was found. The question arose whether the lateral neck lesion was a lymph node metastasis without identifiable primary tumor (at histological evaluation) or rather malignant degeneration of ectopic thyroid tissue. Total thyroidectomy was performed with postoperative adjuvant radioactive iodine ablation. Even though PTC in a lateral neck mass without a primary thyroid tumor has been described previously, pediatric cases have not been reported. In this report we share our experience on diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, and review the existing literature.

Lymph Node Posterior to the Right Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Metastasis in Right Lobe T1a Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: This study analyzed the incidence and predictors of lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis in T1a papillary thyroid carcinoma of the right lobe. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients were selected from those who had received surgical treatment for primary papillary thyroid carcinoma between January 2019 and December 2020. The association between clinicopathologic variables and lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Postoperative complications were also described. RESULTS: Lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis was present in 6.0% of the 402 study patients. It was the most likely to occur when there were other lymph node metastases, particularly in the lymph node anterior to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Independent predictors for lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis were a tumor size of ≥5.0 mm, a lower pole location, and lymph node anterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis. The rate of persistent vocal cord paralysis was .5%, and no patient developed permanent hypoparathyroidism. CONCLUSIONS: Although lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastases of the right lobe T1a papillary thyroid carcinoma is uncommon, the possibility of metastasis should be investigated when there is a positive lymph node anterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve in a tumor >5.0 mm in size located in the lower pole. Lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve dissection is recommended for such tumors.

T1 mapping and reduced field-of-view DWI at 3.0 T MRI for differentiation of thyroid papillary carcinoma from nodular goiter.

BACKGROUND: Reduced field-of-view diffusion-weighted imaging (rFOV-DWI) could be proved to quantitatively identify papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and there is no literature regarding the use of T1 mapping to distinguish nodular goiter (NG) from PTC. PURPOSE: To compare T1 mapping with rFOV-DWI in differentiating NG and PTC. STUDY TYPE: Prospective study. POPULATIONS: Ninety-five hospitalized patients with thyroid nodules were included in the research. SEQUENCE: All subjects underwent T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging, rFOV-DWI and T1-mapping sequences. ASSESSMENT: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T1 values of each thyroid nodule were measured, respectively. According to pathological results, the thyroid nodules were divided into two groups: Group 1 (NG) and Group 2 (PTC). STATISTICAL TESTS: An independent sample t test was used to evaluate the differences of ADC and T1 between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of T1, ADC, Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) and T1 and ADC. RESULTS: The T1 and ADC values of nodular goiter were both higher than those of PTC (p < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of T1 and ADC were significantly higher than that of T1 or ADC alone (p < 0.05). The AUC value of T1 and ADC was as same as that of TI-RADS. CONCLUSION: The combination of T1 mapping and rFOV-DWI could effectively differentiate NG from PTC. And it has at least the same diagnostic value as the ultrasound-based TI-RADS classification.

A model based on clinical data and multi-modal ultrasound for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with thyroid papillary carcinoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore diagnostic performance based on clinical characteristics, conventional ultrasound, Angio PLUS (AP), shear wave elastography (SWE), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for the preoperative evaluation of cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and to find a reliable predictive model for evaluating CLNM. Materials and methods: A total of 206 thyroid nodules in 206 patients were included. AP, SWE, and CEUS were performed for all thyroid nodules. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to ascertain the independent risk factors. The sensitivity, specificity, and the area under the curve (AUC) of independent risk factors and the diagnostic model were compared. Results: Sex, age, nodule size, multifocality, contact extent with adjacent thyroid capsule, Emax, and capsule integrity at CEUS were independent risk predictors for CLNM in patients with PTC. A predictive model was established based on the following multivariate logistic regression: Logit (p) = -2.382 + 1.452 × Sex - 1.064 × Age + 1.338 × Size + 1.663 × multifocality + 1.606 × contact extent with adjacent thyroid capsule + 1.717 × Emax + 1.409 × capsule integrity at CEUS. The AUC of the predictive model was 0.887 (95% CI: 0.841-0.933), which was significantly higher than using independent risk predictors alone. Conclusion: Our study found that male presence, age < 45 years, size ≥ 10 mm, multifocality, contact extent with adjacent thyroid capsule > 25%, Emax ≥ 48.4, and interrupted capsule at CEUS were independent risk predictors for CLNM in patients with PTC. We developed a diagnostic model for predicting CLNM, which could be a potentially useful and accurate method for clinicians; it might be beneficial to surgical decision-making and patient management and for improving prognosis.

CARD9 gene rs4077515 polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the development of thyroid cancer.

AMIS: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common type of autoimmune thyroiditis and is a risk factor for the occurrence of thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC). The study aimed to explore the distribution of CARD9 rs4077515 polymorphism in HT and PTC patients, in order to evaluate its association with the occurrence and development of HT. METHODS: 150 HT patients and 120 PTC cases were included. Genotypes of CARD9 rs40775155 polymorphism were sequenced and counted. RESULTS: A remarkable increase trend of rs4077515 AA genotype was found in HT cases in comparison with the control group, while GG genotype frequency exhibited a down trend. An excess of A allele was also detected in HT group. HT cases carrying AG and AA genotypes had high risk to receive hormonotherapy and needed a much larger dose. In comparison with HT cases, both AG and AA appeared more frequently in PTC patients, and are associated with the tumor size, LN metastasis and surgical margin. The AG (OR = 2.566, 95 % CI = 1.376-4.786) and AA (OR = 3.040, 95 % CI = 1.525-6.060) genotype carriers had a greater risk of developing PTC. The A allele of rs4077515 polymorphism was a risk allele for the onset of PTC among HT cases (OR = 1.775, 95 % CI = 1.260-2.502). CONCLUSION: CARD9 rs4077515 polymorphism is likely to be a risk factor for HT in the Chinese Han population, it also contributes to the development of PTC for HT patients.

Spectrum of thyroid disease in a single patient: A case of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a patient with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

A 65-year-old man with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditi on Levothyroxine developed Graves' disease with ocular symptoms and was treated with teprotumumab without improvement. Total thyroidectomy was performed to control hyperthyroidism. Surgical pathology revealed multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma. Rarely, a spectrum of thyroid disorders is seen in a single patient.

Thyroid papillary carcinoma with the 'snowstorm appearance': a clinicopathological analysis of three cases.

This current case report presents the detailed clinicopathological analysis of three patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, each of which presented with the 'snowstorm appearance' on ultrasonography. Ultrasonography of this tumour typically shows a diffusely enlarged thyroid with hypoechoic and heterogeneous internal echoes, and diffusely scattered microcalcifications, which form the 'snowstorm appearance'. Microscopically, case 1 had a large number of psammoma bodies, infiltration of lymphocytes, formation of lymphatic follicles and extensive squamous metaplasia, leading to the diagnosis of a diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (DSVPTC). Case 2 was diagnosed with follicular papillary thyroid carcinoma. Their tumour had numerous calcifications in the stroma and follicles. Case 3 was diagnosed with a multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma in the background of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Their tumour showed calcification in the stroma and follicles, together with cervical lymph node metastasis. DSVPTC is a rare variant of thyroid papillary carcinoma. It has the 'snowstorm appearance' on ultrasound, but this can also be found in follicular papillary carcinoma and multifocal thyroid papillary carcinoma. Papillary thyroid carcinoma with the 'snowstorm appearance' has a large number of peripheral lymph nodes metastases, thus requiring radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Metastasis to lymph nodes at the contralateral entrance point to the recurrent laryngeal nerve in unilateral thyroid papillary carcinoma: a case report and literature review.

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer. PTC is slow growing, and prognosis after surgery is excellent. However, PTC is associated with a high incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis, and usually metastasizes from the central lymph nodes to the ipsilateral cervical and mediastinal lymph nodes. Anatomic studies have shown that the thyroid gland and surrounding tissue have an abundant lymphatic network that facilitates tumor dissemination and lymph node metastasis, there may be many ways to connect lymph nodes on both sides of the neck of patients, which needs further research and discussion. Case Description: We report the case of a 45-year-old female who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer of the right lobe and right lateral lymph node metastasis by fine-needle aspiration (FNA). During surgery, 0.2 mL of carbon nanoparticle (CN) suspension was injected into the right lobe of the thyroid gland, which resulted in black staining of a lymph node at the contralateral entrance point to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-epRLN). The black-stained lymph node was resected, and the pathology results revealed lymph node metastasis from thyroid cancer. The left lobe of the thyroid was benign. Conclusions: Retro-tracheal periesophageal lymph node metastasis may be a rare metastatic pathway in thyroid cancer.

Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-like Nuclear Features (NIFTP): Tumour Entity with a Short History. A Review on Challenges in Our Microscopes, Molecular and Ultrasonographic Profile.

Since Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-like Nuclear Features (NIFTP) was introduced as a new thyroid tumour entity, many studies, and meta-analyses on diagnosing NIFTP have been published. NIFTP-revised histopathological criteria emerged in 2018. NIFTP is defined as a histological entity and its diagnosis requires a careful histological examination. Its molecular profile is similar to follicular-like tumours. Ultrasound features are unable to differentiate NIFTP. NIFTP is not a cytological diagnosis, but it influences the risk of malignancy in several categories of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology terminology.

[Effects of bosutinib on the malignant behavior of thyroid papillary carcinoma B-CPAP cells and its mechanisms].

Objective: To investigate the effects of bosutinib on the malignant behavior of thyroid papillary carcinoma B-CPAP cells and its possible mechanisms. Methods: Thyroid papillary carcinoma B-CPAP cells were cultured in vitro with a concentration gradient of(1、2、3、4 and 5 µmol/L)bosutinib intervened for 24 hours, DMSO was used as the control group. Five parallel compound holes were set in each group. Cell counting kit (CCK-8 method) method was used to detect cell proliferation. Transwell assay and cell wound healing assay were used to detect cell invasion and migration. TUNEL staining assay and flow cytometry were used to detect cell apoptosis. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of autophagic proteins (Beclin-1, LC3, p62) and signal pathway proteins (SIK2, p-mTOR, mTOR, p-ULK1, ULK1). Results: Compared with the control group, the cell proliferation activity, migration ability and invasion ability were decreased (P＜0.01), while the cell apoptosis rate was increased (P＜0.01) in the bosutinib concentration groups of 2, 3, 4 and 5 µmol/L . In the concentration groups of 4 and 5 µmol/L, the expression of Beclin-1 (P＜0.05), LC3- Ⅱ/LC3- Ⅰ (P＜0.05), SIK2 (P＜0.01) and p-ULK1 (P＜0.01) protein was decreased, while the expression of p62 (P＜ 0.05) and p-mTOR (P＜0.01) protein was increased. Conclusion: Bosutinib may inhibit the autophagy of thyroid papillary carcinoma cells through SIK2-mTOR-ULK1 signaling pathway to inhibit their proliferation, invasion and migration and promote apoptosis, thereby weakening their malignant behavior.
