OBJECTIVE: Approximately 15 to 30% of thyroid nodules have indeterminate cytology. Many of these nodules are treated surgically, but only 5 to 30% are malignant. Molecular testing can further narrow the risk of malignancy of these nodules. Our objective was to assess the cost effectiveness of ThyroSeq®V2.0 compared to diagnostic thyroidectomy for the evaluation of indeterminate nodules. METHODS: Cytology and...
