Detection of BRAF Mutation on Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Specimens: A New Diagnostic Tool for Papillary Thyroid Cancer
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Numerous biomolecular markers have been studied to improve the accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of thyroid tumors, but none of them has yet become clinically useful. The recently discovered BRAF mutation, which occurs specifically in papillary thyroid cancers (PTC) with a high prevalence and is associated with poor clinicopathological outcomes, has the...
