Predicting malignancy in thyroid nodules with benign cytology results: The role of Conventional Ultrasound, Shear Wave Elastography and BRAF V600E

CONCLUSIONS: CUS, SWE and BRAF V600E were diagnostic tools for malignancy in FNA benign nodules. Further clinical decisions should be considered for nodules with 2 or more suspicious CUS features and SWE parameters greater than cut-off values whether BRAF V600E is mutational or not.PMID:34958011 | DOI:10.3233/CH-211337
