Apoptosis and proliferation in thyroid carcinoma: correlation with bcl-2 and p53 protein expression
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the apoptotic cell death in 92 thyroid carcinomas of different histotypes by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labelling (TUNEL).

Microvessel count: an indicator of poor outcome in medullary thyroid carcinoma but not in other types of thyroid carcinoma.
TL;DR: It was found that the number of newly formed vessels was significantly associated with poor prognosis only in medullary carcinoma, and microvessel count, as quantitation of tumor angiogenesis, plays an important prognostic role in medULLary thyroid carcinomas.

Simian virus 40-like DNA sequences in human papillary thyroid carcinomas.
F Pacini,Agnese Vivaldi,Massimo Santoro,Monica Fedele,Alfredo Fusco,Cristina Romei,Fulvio Basolo,Aldo Pinchera +7 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that, in addition to previous findings in mesotheliomas and brain tumors, SV40 is somehow linked to papillary thyroid carcinoma, Although the data do not demonstrate a causative role in the development of PTC, this possibility must be considered and requires further studies.

Expression of the Mr 67,000 laminin receptor is an adverse prognostic indicator in human thyroid cancer: an immunohistochemical study.
Fulvio Basolo,Luca Pollina,F Pacini,G. Fontanini,Sylvie Ménard,Vincenzo Castronovo,Generoso Bevilacqua +6 more
TL;DR: The data represent the first extensive study of the Mr 67,000 LR expression in human thyroid cancers and strongly suggest that its detection could be of prognostic value in the investigation of primary thyroid cancers.

Genetic analysis of the TSH receptor gene in differentiated human thyroid carcinomas
Filomena Cetani,Massimo Tonacchera,Aldo Pinchera,R Barsacchi,Fulvio Basolo,Paolo Miccoli,F Pacini +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that clonal somatic mutations of the TSHR gene do not play a role in the pathogenesis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
