Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated an association of the BRAF(V600E) mutation and microRNA (miR) expression with aggressive clinicopathologic features in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Analysis of BRAF(V600E) mutations with miR expression data may improve perioperative decision making for patients with PTC, specifically in identifying patients harboring central lymph node metastases (CLNM). METHODS: Between...
