In addition to galectin-3, other markers such as Hector Battifora mesothelial cell-1 (HBME-1), cytokeratin-19 (CK19), and cluster differentiation antigen 56 (CD56) can facilitate the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma in both histologic and cytologic preparations (62–64, 71) (Figure 6). Here, KRT19 is linked to thyroid gland carcinoma.
