Molecular diagnosis for indeterminate thyroid nodules on fine needle aspiration: advances and limitations.

Abstract excerpt

Indeterminate thyroid lesions are diagnosed in up to 30% of fine needle aspirations. These nodules harbor malignancy in more than 25% of cases, and hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy has therefore been advocated in order to achieve definitive diagnosis. Recently, many molecular markers have been investigated in an attempt to increase diagnostic accuracy of indeterminate fine needle aspiration cytology and...
