摘要:
This document provides methods and materials involved in assessing thyroid neoplasms. For example, methods and materials for using microRNA (miR) levels (e.g., miR122 levels) to determine whether a thyroid neoplasm (e.g., a follicular thyroid neoplasm) is benign or malignant as well as methods and materials for using miR levels (e.g., miR122 levels) to determine whether a malignant thyroid cancer patient is likely to have a favorable or unfavorable outcome are provided. This document also provides methods and materials involved in treating cancer.
