Abstract
The application of molecular analysis of gene expression to clinical tissue samples represents one of the most exciting new areas in "translational" thyroid cancer research. Current data suggest that molecular diagnostic assays may improve the sensitivity and accuracy of fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules, fine needle aspiration of metastases, and detection of recurrent disease in peripheral blood samples. It is likely that at least some of these tests will become useful adjuncts in the diagnostic armamentarium of clinical endocrinologists in the future.Entities:
