Detection of <i>PAX8/PPARG</i> and <i>RET/PTC</i> Rearrangements Is Feasible in Routine Air-Dried Fine Needle Aspiration Smears
1 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic limitations of fine needle aspiration (FNA), like the indeterminate category, can be partially overcome by molecular analysis. As PAX8/PPARG and RET/PTC rearrangements have been detected in follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTCs) and papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs), their detection in FNA smears could improve the FNA diagnosis. To date, these rearrangements have never been analyzed in...
