Objectives Endocrine pathologists are reconsidering whether tumors characterized as
noninvasive follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (NFVPTC) warrant a diagnosis of …

Routine morphologic cytology is the basis for any kind of (integrated) molecular FNA
diagnostics. The rule out (gene expression classifier) approach requires confirmation by …

Background: The diagnostic limitations of thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA), such as the
indeterminate category, can be partially overcome by molecular analyses. However, until …

BACKGROUND Molecular testing for genetic alterations associated with malignancy is a
potential triage approach for thyroid fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) samples with …

Background: Previous studies detecting mutations in thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration
(FNA) material differed with respect to the cytologic grading applied to the FNAs, the type of …

BACKGROUND Diff‐Quik–stained fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) smears and touch
preparations from biopsies represent alternative specimens for molecular testing when cell …

Background: Major differences with respect to the diagnostic performance of a “ruling in”
approach in the presurgical diagnosis of indeterminate thyroid fine-needle aspirations …

BACKGROUND Fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is accurate and cost‐effective in the
evaluation of thyroid nodules. Molecular techniques may contribute to risk stratification in …

Hot thyroid nodules (HTNs) in children are rare. Their reported malignancy rate is higher
than in adults. However molecular data are rare. We present clinical and molecular data for …

Background Molecular analysis for common somatic mutations in thyroid cancer can
improve diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the nondiagnostic …
