Introduction: Molecular testing play increasingly a significant role in pre-operative diagnosis of nodular goiter, as standard methods may not give conclusive decision in choosing optimal treatment approach. BRAF gene mutations are often discovered in the cytological specimens among the patients with papillary thyroid cancer. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of BRAF T1799A mutation in cellular specimens derived from fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)...
