Abstract excerpt
The BRAF mutation has been observed in 32-73% of papillary thyroid carcinomas. Despite the superiority of genetic tests for detecting BRAF mutations, they have inherent disadvantages. The objective of this study was to analyze the specificity and sensitivity of BRAF immunohistochemistry (IHC) that has been used in recent years and may serve as an alternative to genetic testing, in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
