Abstract: Abstract? Thyroid cancer is the one of the most common cancer worldwide. The understand of molecular events are still unknown yet, this is may be because of more complications in this disease. The current study included 111 thyroid cancer patients collected from January 2015 to April 2016, and designed to detection the relationship of TGF? and EGFR expression with pathological variables in thyroid cancer patients using immunohistochemical technique. The results showed significant relationship between TGF? expression with gender (p0.05). Regarding EGFR expression, the findings demonstrated that there was a strong relationship with cell types affected (p
