Dr. Thomas J. Giordano, MD, PhD, the project co-lead for The Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network, recently published findings that identify genetic markers of aggressive papillary thyroid carcinoma.  Published in Cell, this comprehensive analysis of a large cohort of 500 patients will improve the understanding of genetic drivers of thyroid cancer and consequently will have the potential to improve the classification and treatment of PTC, as well as offer new insights into the role that genetic modifications play in driving disease development.
