Diagnostic value and lymph node metastasis prediction of a custom ‑made panel (thyroline) in thyroid cancer.

In conclusion, the prediction value of NGS was higher than the US‑based Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI‑RADS). NGS is valuable for the accurate differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules, and pathological subtypes in FFPE samples. The findings of the present study may pave the way for the application of NGS in analyzing fine‑needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy samples. PMID: 29901149 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
