Thyroid cancer is the most common malignancy of endocrine organs and its incidence is steadily growing worldwide. Approximately 80% of differentiated thyroid tumors are papillary carcinomas. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) allows for high-throughput sequencing analysis of large number of samples at a time in a cost effective manner. We have developed a targeted sequencing parallel testing panel for multiple mutations in genes involved in thyroid cancer pathology. A custom-mad...
