摘要

PURPOSE: A method for diagnosing metastasis to lymph node is provided to obtain simple and accurate information for diagnosing and treating metastasis.;CONSTITUTION: A method for providing information for diagnosing metastasis to lymph node comprises a step of identifying expression pattern of cyclin D1 by immonohistochemistry. The lymph node metastasis is derived from papillary carcinoma, follicular carcinoma, base differentiation thyroid carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, or medullary carcinoma. The information includes the presence of isolated gland or lateral tubular growth. A sample is blood, whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, tissue, cells, organ, bone marrow, or saliva.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
