Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The role of the T1799A BRAF mutation in lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is not clear. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to explore the relationship between BRAF mutation and lymph node metastasis of PTC by examining the mutation in both the primary tumors and their paired lymph node metastases. DESIGN: We isolated genomic DNA from primary thyroid tumors and paired lymph node metastases...
