BRAFV600E mutation is associated with increased prevalence of contralateral lymph-node metastases in low and low-to-intermediate risk papillary thyroid cancer

Conclusion This study suggests that BRAFV600E mutation represents a significant risk factor for developing contralateral lymph-node metastases and confirms that BRAFV600E mutation is associated with more aggressive PTC features and a higher prevalence of metastatic disease also in low or low-to-intermediate-risk PTC patients.
