Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the real-life use of BRAF- V600E mutation analysis in washout liquid from thyroid nodule fine needle aspiration (FNA), and the consequences of genetic result on clinical decision-making. Methods We retrospectively considered subjects tested for BRAF- V600E among...
