Galectin-3 (Gal-3), which has received significant recent attention for its utility as a
diagnostic marker for thyroid cancer, represents the most well-studied molecular candidate …

Galectin-3 belongs to a family of highly conserved animal lectins characterized by their
ability to recognize multiple N-acetyllactosamine sequences, which can be displayed on …

Conventional cytology-based diagnosis for thyroid cancer is limited with more than 30–45%
of nodules categorized as indeterminate, necessitating surgery for confirming or refuting the …

The incidence of thyroid cancer has continuously increased due to its detection in the
preclinical stage. Clinical research in thyroid pathology is focusing on the development of …

Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding animal lectin that contains carbohydrate-recognition
domains and displays multiple related functions. It has important roles in diverse biological …

In cytology practice some papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cases have indeterminate
diagnoses and overlapping cytological features with benign lesions. This study was …

Abstract Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) and Src have been reported to regulate tumor growth,
invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate by …

Thyroid nodules are quite common and present approximately in 10% of the population.
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has become the mainstay of thyroid nodule evaluation and …

Thyroid nodule prevalence is about 1.8% in healthy children; however, malignancy
frequency is higher than in adults. Approximately 26.4% of thyroid nodules generate thyroid …

Background: Galectin-3 is a human lectin linked to malignant transformation in different
organs including thyroid gland. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic role of galectin-3 in …
