BRAFV600E mutation, BRAF-activated long non-coding RNA and miR-9 expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma, and their association with clinicopathological features

Background The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing worldwide. This study investigated the association of B-type RAF kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation status, the expression of BRAF-activated long non-coding RNA (BANCR) and microRNA miR-9, and the clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods Clinicopathological data for PTC patients ( n = 51) diagnosed and treated between 2018 and 2019 were collected. Carcinoma and...
