Molecular Testing Has Limited Utility in the Surgical Evaluation of Bethesda III Thyroid Nodules

The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology has 6 diagnostic categories, each with an implied cancer risk of malignancy (ROM). Bethesda III, defined as atypia or follicular lesions of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) on fine needle aspiration (FNA), has an indeterminate ROM. This study investigates the utility of Afirma Gene Expression Classifier (GEC) and Thyroid Sequencing (ThyroSeq) molecular testing to predict malignancy in...
