Results of Mutation and Rearrangements Detection in Air-Dried FNA Smears in a Routine Diagnostic Setting of Patients with Nodular Thyroid Disease

Abstract

Results for the detection of rearrangements and point mutations have thus far only been reported in retrospective and two prospective studies, which required additional fresh FNA material. This is the first report of preliminary results of their diagnostic detection in routine air-dried FNA smears.
