BRAF^V600E mutation test on fine‐needle aspiration specimens of thyroid nodules: Clinical correlations for 4600 patients

Abstract

The BRAF^V600E mutation test in FNA samples has potential to reduce false negatives in PTC diagnosis, and therefore plays an important role in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, especially those with an indeterminate or nondiagnostic cytology, which should be considered for repeat FNA.
