Description
Follicular thyroid cancers harboring RAS mutations have limited aggressiveness in the absence of TERT mutations. 2/2 follicular thyroid cancer patients with co-mutations in NRAS (10 Q61R and 1 Q61K) or HRAS (2 Q61R and 1 Q61K) and TERT promoter mutations had persistent or recurrent disease compared to 1/11 patients with only a RAS mutation (100% vs 8%, P=0.03).
