No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To investigate the diagnostic efficiency of pyrosequencing for the mutant BRAF allele in ultrasound (US)-guided fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) of thyroid incidentalomas.

Conditions

  • Thyroid Neoplasms

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy

Fine needle aspiration (FNA)with cytologic analysis has become a mainstay of thyroid nodule evaluation was used. Nonpalpable nodules were aspirated under ultrasound guidance to facilitate precise targeting of the nodule and to sample the part most likely to improve diagnostic yield.
