Incidental thyroid carcinoma by FDG-PET/CT: a study of clinicopathological characteristics.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) loss by gene mutation, loss of heterozygosity, and promoter methylation rarely occurs in colorectal cancer. We wondered whether LKB1 loss could be deregulated at the transcriptional level to promote tumor progression and poor outcome in colorectal cancer. METHODS:Mechanistic studies w...
