Abstract:
The link between Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT) and papillary thyroid cancer(PTC) has long been a topic of controversy.Some authors suggested that these two disorders are positively correlated,whereas others reported no relationship.Here we summarized the studies made in investigating the correlation between HT and PTC,and analyzed the nature of the correlation between HT and PTC based on biomolecular mechanisms.
