The role of MAPK, notch and Wnt signaling pathways in papillary thyroid cancer: Evidence from a systematic review and meta-analyzing microarray datasets employing bioinformatics knowledge and literature

Abstract Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a prevalent kind of thyroid cancer (TC), with the risk of metastasis increasing faster than any other malignancy. So, understanding the role of PTC in pathogenesis requires studying the various gene expressions to find out which particular molecular biomarkers will be helpful. The authors conducted a comprehensive search on the PubMed microarray database and a meta-analysis approach on the remaining ones to determine the differentially expressed genes between PTC and normal tissues, along with
