Identification of prognostic biomarkers related to the tumor microenvironment in thyroid carcinoma

Abstract Thyroid Carcinoma (THCA) is the most common endocrine tumor that is mainly treated using surgery and radiotherapy. In addition, immunotherapy is a recently developed treatment option that has played an essential role in the management of several types of tumors. However, few reports exist o...
