Thyroid tumors: histological classification and genetic factors involved in the development of thyroid cancer.
Classification of thyroid tumours and their variants is described with special respect to some recent findings on somatic mutations characteristics which are associated with individual types of malignity. Special attention is paid to the interrelations between thyroid nodules and malignity and predictive risk factors are listed.
