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
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
