Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most common type of thyroid malignancy, usually possesses mutations, either RET/PTC rearrangement or BRAF mutation. Both mutations can activate the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase/extracellular signal-related kinase signaling transduction pathway, which results in activation of transcription factors that regulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
