Abstract

Thyroid nodules are frequent clinical findings, but only a small proportion is malignant. Differential diagnosis and risk stratification for thyroid malignancy is, therefore, required to avoid unnecessary surgery. Could immunostaining of two protein markers ramp up a clinician's ability to distinguish lesions that require surgical intervention from those that do not?
