Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has been reported to have a superior validity over PCR with amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS-PCR) for detecting the BRAF V600E mutation in thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration (FNA) samples using cytological diagnosis as the reference. However, the added value of ddPCR on surgical decision-making remains to be illustrated when the technique is combined with...
