Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Proper candidates to improve the effectiveness of molecular testing for thyroid nodules detected on ultrasonography (US) in a clinical setting are not well known. We aimed at evaluating the effective indication and method of BRAF(V600E) mutation analysis of aspiration specimens according to the US features of thyroid nodules in a BRAF(V600E) mutation-prevalent area. METHODS: A total of 244 patients...
