We next evaluated the expression of autophagy-related proteins in thyroid cancers and observed significant differences in tumoral LC3A (p < 0.001), stromal LC3A (p < 0.001), LC3B (p < 0.001), and BNIP-3 (p = 0.016) expression patterns with respect to thyroid cancer subtype. This evidence concerns the gene MAP1LC3A and thyroid cancer.
