Is follow-up BRAF(V600E) mutation analysis helpful in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules with negative results on initial analysis?
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the usefulness of follow-up BRAF(V600E) mutation analysis using ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) in diagnosis of thyroid nodules showing negative BRAFV600E mutation on prior analysis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING: A total of 49 patients (men: 6, women:...
