TERT promoter mutations identify a high-risk group in metastasis-free advanced thyroid carcinoma

TERT promoter mutations are associated with adverse clinicopathological characteristics in thyroid carcinomas and considered as a major indicator of poor outcomes. Nevertheless, most studies have pooled heterogeneous types of thyroid carcinomas and have been conducted retrospectively. We investigate...

description TERT promoter mutations are associated with adverse clinicopathological characteristics in thyroid carcinomas and considered as a major indicator of poor outcomes. Nevertheless, most studies have pooled heterogeneous types of thyroid carcinomas and have been conducted retrospectively. We investigated the association between TERT promoter mutations and recurrence in a prospective series of 173 intermediate- to high-risk patients with thyroid cancer. Patients referred for radioiodine treatment after thyroidectomy for intermediate- to high-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma were included in a prospective observational study and tested for TERT promoter, BRAF, and RAS mutations of their primary tumours. We analysed the relationship between TERT promoter mutations and outcomes. The prevalence of TERT promoter mutations was 20.2% (35/173) in the total population. It was significantly higher in tumours harbouring aggressive histological features (poorly differentiated carcinoma, tall cell variant of papillary cancer or widely invasive follicular cancer) than in non-aggressive tumours: 32.7% (16/49) versus 15.3% (19/124; p = 0.020). TERT promoter mutations were also strongly associated with age ≥45 years (p = 0.005), pT4 stage (p = 0.015), metastatic disease (p = 0.014), and extrathyroidal extension (p = 0.002). TERT promoter mutations were associated with poor outcomes in the total population (p
