Differentiated Thyroid Cancer—Treatment: State of the Art
Differentiated thyroid cancer is a rare tumor entity but shows a strongly increasing incidence over the last decades. It derives from the follicular epithelium of the thyroid and shows basic biological characteristics of healthy thyroid tissue. The expression of the sodium iodide symporter is the key feature for specific iodine uptake.

Types of Thyroid Cancer: Papillary, Follicular and More
The types of thyroid cancer are classified based on how similar they look to normal thyroid cells under a microscope (differentiated vs. undifferentiated) and by the type of cell from which they develop. The four primary types of thyroid cancer are follicular, papillary, anaplastic and medullary. Papillary thyroid cancer. Papillary thyroid cancer, …

Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Health Economic Review
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), an umbrella term for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), and Hürthle cell thyroid cancer (HTC) represents approximately 95% of all thyroid cancers .

Well-Differentiated Thyroid Cancers
Papillary and follicular thyroid cancers are considered well-differentiated cancers. Papillary thyroid cancer is the most prevalent type of thyroid cancer--with over 50,000 new cases per year in the United States. Around 80-90% of thyroid cancer cases are papillary cancer. Papillary cancer can spread to the lymph nodes in the neck, and in …

Abstract. Understanding of dedifferentiation, an indicator of poo prognosis for patients with thyroid cancer, has been hampered by imprecise and incomplete characterization of its heterogeneity and its attributes. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we explored the landscape of thyroid cancer at single-cell resolution with 46,205 cells …
