Abstract excerpt
Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules (Bethesda III and IV) are often treated with diagnostic lobectomy, which in most cases represents an overtreatment. A reliable rule-out molecular test could spare patients unnecessary surgery. Stained smears of 88 indeterminate thyroid nodules with histologic diagnosis of follicular-patterned tumors were selected: 34 follicular adenomas (FAs), 34 follicular variant...
