Pyrosequencing of the BRAFV600E Mutation

Chungnam National University101 enrolled

Overview

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

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions

Thyroid Neoplasms

Interventions

ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsyPROCEDURE

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.
