Detection of BRAF Mutation on FNAB From Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Immunohistochemical detection of the BRAF-V600E mutation on pre-operative fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) from patients suspected for papillary thyroid carcinoma, using the mutation specific antibody VE1. --- V600E ---
Therefore, pre-operative detection of the BRAF-V600E mutation may be of clinical interest in order to individualize treatment of patients with BRAF positive PTC. --- V600E ---
FNABs are performed immediately before the thyroid operation, and BRAF-V600E detection using VE1 is performed on clots. --- V600E ---
