[Novel procedure for preoperative diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma].
Our study has shown that evaluation of marker genes SFTPB and TFF3 expression using fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodal alterations is an effective means of differential diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma. When used on molecular level, it may detect the disease before clinical signs develop or ultrasound examination is carried out.
