High expression of STC1 was frequently detected in human tumor samples of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) [16], colorectal cancer [17], lung adenocarcinoma [9], breast cancer [18, 19] and thyroid carcinomas [20], however, low expression of STC1 was found in tumor-derived ovarian epithelial cells [21]. This evidence concerns the gene STC1 and thyroid gland carcinoma.
