Abstract


Background: Neovascularization/angiogenesis is crucial for the growth and metastatic spread of neoplasms. It is a key reaction to evaluate the growth potential of neoplasms, a multi-step process related to the modeling of the intercellular matrix, proliferation and migration of endothelial cells.

Aim: Study of the vascular density during Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT) and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) by immunohistochemical examination of angiogenesis activity: VEGF, CD34 markers.

Methods: The research database is retrospective and prospective tissue samples obtained from patients after total thyroidectomy, lobectomy or partial resection: HT (n=25), PTC (n =10) which studied histologically and immunohistochemically investigated.

Results: VEGF expression reduced as compare cases of HT than in PTC. There was no clear association between CD34 and thyroid pathology.

Conclusion: VEGF is the most potent inducer of neovascularization, and its increased expression is associated with a poor prognostic outcome in many diseases. It is known that TTF-1 positively regulates VEGF. But it should be noted that, in terms of manifestation time, the action of VEGF is primarily than TTF1, and may be discussed as a predictor of dysplasia and malignant transformation.
