Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular testing (MT) aids in the management of indeterminate thyroid nodules; however, regional differences remain unexamined. This meta-analysis compares MT's clinical impact between Western and Asian cohorts. This study hypothesized that regional disparities in malignancy prevalence, molecular platforms, and practice patterns would yield divergent clinical applications of MT. METHODS: A systematic...
