Incidences of ERα, ERβ, and HER-2 were 8.1 vs 16.3 vs 13.9% (p=0.15), 26.6 vs 11.5 vs 36.1% (p=0.002), and 12.9 vs 2.9 vs 0% (p=0.003) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC), respectively. This evidence concerns the gene ESR2 and poorly differentiated thyroid gland carcinoma.
