Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) is routinely used in the preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules. However, 15% to 30% of aspirations yield indeterminate cytologic findings. Because the assessment of BRAF mutations seems to improve the diagnostic accuracy, this study evaluated BRAF mutations with Sanger sequencing and real‐time methods in 650 consecutive thyroid aspirates. In addition, the expression...
BACKGROUNDFine‐needle aspiration (FNA) has been widely accepted as the most crucial step in the preoperative assessment of thyroid nodules, but the false‐negative rates are generally reported to be between 3.6% and 10.2%. To lower the overall incidence of this false‐negative testing, new reporting systems encourage the molecular testing of thyroid nodules. However, to the authors' knowledge, the role...
