  • Expression profile of thyroid cancer
    Patent number: 8202692
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for cancer diagnostics, including but not limited to, cancer markers. In particular, the present invention provides gene expression profiles associated with thyroid cancers. Genes identified as cancer markers using the methods of the present invention find use in the diagnosis and characterization of thyroid cancer. In addition, the genes provide targets for cancer drug screens and therapeutic applications.
    Type: Grant
