The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the survivin gene and the occurrence and pathogenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Sixty patients with PTC and no preoperative chemotherapy were recruited for the study and 30 thyrophyma patients receiving operative treatment in Drum Tower Hospital (Nanjing, China) were included as the control group. The protein expression levels of survivin were assessed by immunoblotting and immunohistochemical analysis of tissues from both patient groups.
