Purpose : Papillary thyroid cancer has a good prognosis. This favourable prognosis may be attributed to the apoptotic tendency of the cancer cells. This study aims to evaluate the expression of bcl-2, which is an antidote of apoptosis, and aims to evaluate the value of bcl-2 as a prognostic marker in papillary thyroid cancer.
