Surgical implications of B-RafV600E mutation in fine-needle aspiration of thyroid nodules.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Management of patients with thyroid nodules is based on establishing an accurate diagnosis; however, differentiating benign from malignant lesions preoperatively is not always possible using current cytological techniques. Novel molecular testing on cytological material could lead to clearer treatment algorithms. B-Raf(V600E) mutation is the most common genetic alteration in thyroid cancer,...
