Abstract

Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy derived from the endocrine system and the incidence of thyroid cancer is on the rise. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type, and 90% of PTC patients have long-term survival, but the recurrence rate is still as high as 30%. Current diagnostic and postoperative monitoring techniques have been developed, but their negative rates and interfering factors also occupy an absolute proportion, and lack specific markers for the prognosis of PTC. Studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with the development, metastasis and invasiveness of PTC and as a biomarker to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of recurrence, and to determine the prognosis for specific markers. The future of PTC diagnosis, treatment and improve prognosis has broad prospects. This review mainly describes the development of miRNA as biomarkers for the diagnosis, recurrence and prognosis of PTC.
