Is thyroidectomy necessary in RET mutations carriers of the familial medullary thyroid carcinoma syndrome?

abstract：BACKGROUND:DNA flow cytometry of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells has been investigated in many studies, but, to the best of our knowledge, there are no data on DNA analysis of cirrhotic parenchyma around the HCC. In this study, cell kinetics and ploidy of parenchymal cells around HCC were performed to ascertain if...
