30 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate BRAF(V600E) mutation on consecutive fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) specimens in order to assess FNAB's usefulness in preoperative papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) diagnosis with the contemporaneous analysis of RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC3 rearrangements obtained from ex vivo thyroid nodules. DESIGN: Thyroid FNABs from 156 subjects with nodules and 49 corresponding surgical samples were...
