Functional Division of Labor in Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Intratumoral heterogeneity in follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is traditionally interpreted as stochastic variation or clonal divergence. Through systems-level analysis of spatialorganization and functional specialization, I try to demonstrate that FTC exhibits purposeful stratification analogous to tissue organogenesis—a division of labor where distinct cellular populations perform specialized, interdependent functions essential for tumor survival.
