Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid (PTC) is the most common differentiated thyroid tumor. Its occurrence is closely associated with mutations in oncogenes such as

BRAF

RAS

RET

and

TERT

. Different oncogene mutations may result in biological behaviors and tumor growth patterns of PTC that exhibit various ultrasound features. With the progression of molecular biology technology in recent years

number of researchers have attempted to investigate the correlation between PTC molecular markers and ultrasound features. A thorough understanding of the relationship between PTC molecular markers and ultrasound features can helpassess the overall risk and potential molecular characteristics. This will contribut

e to an individualized assessment of PTC and is essential to the logical formulation of the follow-up diagnosis and treatment plan.
