BRAFV600E mutation is the most frequent genetic alteration (29–83%) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Many authors have demonstrated that the presence of the mutation is associated with a more advanced tumor stage at diagnosis and a worse outcome but anyone assessed if BRAFV600E mutation could be useful prognostic marker in low risk PTC patients (T1-T2N0M0, 7th TNM classification).Aim of this study was to evaluate if the presence of BRAFV600E mu...
