Brief Summary: 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.
Detailed Description: The BRAF mutation is reported to be present in approximately 50% of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC). The mutation has been associated with poor prognosis and more advanced disease stage. 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.

FNABs are performed immediately before the thyroid operation, and BRAF-V600E detection using VE1 is performed on clots. The VE1 stain is compared to the mutation status of the removed cancer or control tissue using the Cobas test.
