Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The study of genetic mutations in thyroid nodules makes it possible to improve the preoperative diagnosis of and reduce unnecessary surgeries on benign nodules. In this study, we analysed the impact of implementing a 7-gene mutation panel that enables mutations to be detected in BRAF and RAS (H/N/K) and the gene fusions PAX8/PPARG, RET/PTC1 and RET/PTC2, in a population in northern Argentina. METHODS:...
