Diagnostic value of BRAF mutation analysis in fine needle aspiration for evaluation of thyroid nodules

Diagnostic value of BRAF mutation analysis in fine needle aspiration for evaluation of thyroid nodules

ObjectivesUltrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is routinely used in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. However, it has several pitfalls, as has been noted in nondiagnostic and indeterminate cases. This study aims to investigate the value of BRAFV600E mutation co-testing in FNA cytology. Me...
