lüll Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3): a promising indicator for diagnosing thyroid follicular carcinoma Takano T; Yamada HEndocr J 2009[]; 56 (1): 9-16Since the introduction of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the 1970's, a preoperative diagnostic technique for thyroid follicular carcinoma has long been awaited. Many markers that distinguish follicular carcinomas from adenomas have been reported; however, most of them have not been confirmed to be beneficial for clinical use. Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) is a relatively new family of peptides that bears the three-loop trefoil domain. Several groups have reported that the suppression of TFF3 mRNA expression is related to malignant characteristics of thyroid follicular cell-derived tumors and the expression level of TFF3 mRNA is the most promising indicator for diagnosing follicular carcinoma. Development of TFF3-based diagnostic methods is now ongoing and it may not be long before thyroid follicular carcinoma can be diagnosed preoperatively using an aspirated sample from the tumor.|Adenocarcinoma, Follicular/*diagnosis/genetics/pathology/surgery[MESH]|Adenoma/diagnosis/genetics/pathology/surgery[MESH]|Biomarkers, Tumor/genetics/metabolism/physiology[MESH]|Biopsy, Fine-Needle[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Models, Biological[MESH]|Peptides/genetics/metabolism/*physiology[MESH]|Preoperative Care/methods[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Thyroid Neoplasms/*diagnosis/genetics/pathology/surgery[MESH]|Trefoil Factor-3[MESH] |
