In human carcinomas Brachyury (Brachy) has been identified as a regulator of EMT associated to malignancy. The Insulin Like Growth Factors (IGFs) are mitogens that play important roles in both normal and neoplastic growth. To date, no information about Brachy and IGF1R expression in pediatric thyroid nodular disease is available.<p...
