Molecular testing of BRAF, RAS and TERT on thyroid FNAs with indeterminate cytology improves diagnostic accuracy

ConclusionsMutation profiling can be successfully performed on thyroid LB‐FNA without any dedicated sample in a pathology laboratory. It is an easy way to improve diagnostic accuracy of routine LB‐FNA and may help to better select patients for surgery and to avoid unnecessary thyroidectomies.
