    We explore the feasibility of using FOS and JUN gene expression and ATR-FTIR for diagnosis of thyroid cancer. For the study, 38 samples (6 non-neoplastic (NN), 10 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), 7 follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and 15 benign tumors (BT) were subjected to RNA extraction followed by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) and 30 samples (5 NN, 9 PTC, 5 FTC, and 11 BT) were used for Attenuated Total Reflectance – Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) followed by multivariate analysis. Of the above, 20 samples were used for both gene expression and ATR-FTIR studies. We found FOS and JUN expression in malignant tumor samples to be significantly lower than NN and benign. ATR-FIR after multivariate analysis could identify the difficult to diagnose FTC with 93 % efficiency. Overall, results suggest the diagnostic potential of molecular biology techniques combined with ATR-FTIR spectroscopy in differentiated thyroid carcinomas (PTC and FTC) and BT.
