Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of SHP2 and Hook1 expression in patients with thyroid carcinoma

Some thyroid carcinomas (TCs) have a violent biological behavior and poor prognosis, and lacking of effective molecular markers is still the main obstacle for clinical stratified diagnosis and treatment of TC. The aim of the study was to discover the clinicopathological and prognostic implications of Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) and Hook microtubule tethering protein 1(Hook1) expression in TC. The expression of SHP2 and Hook1was detected by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays from 313 primary TC who underwent surgery during January 2006 and January 2010 in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital.
