Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (TERT-p) mutations are strongly associated with tumour aggressiveness and worse prognosis in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). Since the TERT-p mutations have been reported to be subclonal, it is unclear how accurately they can be detected by preoperative fine-needle aspiration (FNA). The objective of this study was to analyse the concordance rate of the...
