Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy with cytologic analysis is an initial step in diagnostic of thyroid nodules. Unfortunately, up to 30% of biopsies are indeterminate and diagnostic surgery is required. The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic value of BRAF V600E mutation status combined with cytomorphological features for diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) in...
