Abstract

Application of a multi-gene panel in FNAB thyroid samples provides a patient-directed diagnostic and prognostic model. Several genetic mutations and molecular markers are correlated with histological subtypes of thyroid cancer, revealing the potential role of molecular techniques in targeted therapy. The combination of FNAB and multi-gene tests introduces clinicians to the benefits of precision oncology.
