Our results confirm the upregulation of PVT1 in TC. The apoptosis-related proteins (p53, Bcl2, and PD-1/PD-L1) showed different prognostic utility in TC patients; in particular, low p53 and high PD-L1 expressions associated with low survival times. Further large-scale and mechanistic studies are warranted.
