Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT: This study investigated the feasibility of using immunohistochemistry (IHC) instead of PCR to detect BRAF V600E mutant protein in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and to determine the value of using preoperative BRAF V600E mutant protein by IHC to assist in the diagnosis of thyroid nodule patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).The expression of BRAFV600E mutant protein was measured in 23 cases of...
