Significance of RAS Mutations in Thyroid Benign Nodules and Non-Medullary Thyroid Cancer

27 Jul 2021

Abstract excerpt

Thyroid nodules are detected in up to 60% of people by ultrasound examination. Most of them are benign nodules requiring only follow up, while about 4% are carcinomas and require surgery. Malignant nodules can be diagnosed by the fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), which however yields an indeterminate result in about 30% of the cases. Testing for RAS mutations has been proposed to refine indeterminate...
