Abstract:
Thyroid neoplasm is one of the most common endocrinal tumors. In general, thyroid cancer patients are usually presented with asymptomatic neck nodules. A differential diagnosis between malignant and benign thyroid neoplasm is very important for these patients. This review article primarily discusses biological markers used to aid the differential diagnosis of thyroid neoplasia, which may lead to a more rational approach to the treatment. It mainly describes the recent development of molecular biological markers VEGF-C, Cytokeratin-19, HBME-1, Pax8-PPAR and Galectin-3 for the differential diagnosis of thyroid neoplasms.
