Furthermore, an immunohistochemistry analysis confirmed that the proteins SRC-1/VEGFC (positive: 13/20 and positive: 15/20) and SRC-1/LYVE-1 (positive: 13/20 and positive: 18/20) were highly expressed in a majority of thyroid cancer specimens (Figure 1D). The gene discussed is VEGFC; the disease is thyroid gland carcinoma.
