Fine-Needle Aspiration Molecular Analysis for the Diagnosis of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Through BRAF ^V600E Mutation and RET/PTC Rearrangement

Abstract

BRAF(V600E) mutation detected on FNAB specimens, more than RET/PTC rearrangements, is highly specific for PTC and its routine research might well be an adjunctive and integrative diagnostic tool for the preoperative diagnostic iter.
