Abstract excerpt
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for the majority of diagnoses of thyroid carcinoma. BRAFV600E mutation is the most common genetic alteration in PTC, which has diagnostic and prognostic significance. The rate of BRAFV600E mutation in PTC from Thailand has not been reported. Our purpose was to estimate the prevalence of BRAF mutation in a large institutional series using an affordable...
