RET/PTC3 translocation in a rare hemorrhagic brain metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer post Chernobyl radiation affects vessels ultrastructure

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2021
Background: Slow progression and good prognosis are the usual characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The presence of brain metastases (0.4–1.2%) is suggestive of a worse prognosis. RET/PTC rearrangements were particularly prevalent in PTCs
