A study of FoxA1 expression in thyroid tumors

FoxA1 regulates a variety of tissues during embryogenesis and early life. In thyroid, FoxA1 expression has recently been shown in C cells and medullary thyroid carcinomas but not in follicular cells. FoxA1 has also been proposed as potential oncogene in anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. However, FoxA1 expression has not been extensively investigated in a spectrum of thyroid non-neoplastic lesions and tumors. A variety of thyroid tumors and lesions and their morphologic mimics were stained with monoclonal anti-FoxA1 antibody.
