General description

Galectin-3 is a 31 kD beta-galactosidase binding lectin. It has been associated with binding to the basement membrane glycoprotein laminin. Anti-Galectin-3 has been demonstrated to be valuable in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms in both histologic sections and fine needle aspiration biopsy material. Anti-Galectin-3 antibody has also been useful in identifying anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Galectin-3 is a carbohydrate-binding protein endowed with an affinity for beta-galactosides. It has been shown to play an important role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and in pre-mRNA splicing. Furthermore, it is involved in the control of cell growth, neoplastic

Cystic thyroid lesions can harbour an occult papillary carcinoma, which fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy may fail to detect. Recently, new markers such as galectin-3 lectin have been proposed to distinguish benign from malignant thyroid lesions of follicular origin. The

The expression of galectin-3, a human lectin, has been shown to be highly associated with malignant behavior of thyroid lesions. We studied the immunohistochemical expression pattern of galectin-3 in a variety of follicular-derived thyroid lesions (13 benign and 62 malignant)

Thyroid cancer is the most frequently occurring endocrine malignancy; however, preoperative diagnosis of some lesions, in particular those with follicular histology, is difficult, and a consistent number of not otherwise-specified "follicular nodules" are surgically resected more for diagnosis than therapeutic
A Bartolazzi et al.
Lancet (London, England), 357(9269), 1644-1650 (2001-06-27)
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignant disease, but preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge. Fine-needle aspiration cytology has greatly improved the clinical management of thyroid nodules, but the preoperative characterisation of follicular lesions is very difficult. Many patients are
