Abstract excerpt
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid is the sine qua non in the preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules. Despite this, cytological examination of FNA cannot differentiate malignant from benign Hürthle cell neoplasms. We have previously shown that Hürthle cell carcinomas harbor more gene...
