Clinical Implication of Highly Sensitive Detection of the BRAF V600E Mutation in Fine-Needle Aspirations of Thyroid Nodules: A Comparative Analysis of Three Molecular Assays in 4585 Consecutive Cases in a BRAF V600E Mutation-Prevalent Area

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Detection of the BRAF V600E mutation in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) specimens may increase the value of FNAC. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the study was to compare the diagnostic performance of BRAF assays that differ in sensitivity and to examine the associations between the BRAF V600E mutation status and the clinicopathological features in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). DESIGN AND...
