FNA-based Molecular Testing of Thyroid Nodules: a Practical Update for Cytologists
Webcast
2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ ...OVERVIEW
FNA-based Molecular Testing of Thyroid Nodules: a Practical Update for Cytologists is organized by American Society of Cytopathology (ASC).
Course opens: October 24, 2023
Course expires: October 23, 2026
Description:
Over the past decade, several molecular diagnostic tests have been developed for thyroid FNA biopsy samples. Tests currently marketed in the United States include Afirma GSC and Xpression Atlas (Veracyte), ThyroSeq (Sonic Healthcare USA), and ThyGeNEXT / ThyraMIR (Interpace Diagnostics). This webinar will highlight established and emerging roles of molecular testing in the clinical evaluation of thyroid nodules, provide a framework for understanding the different molecular approaches (i.e., genotyping, mRNA expression, microRNA expression) for risk-stratifying thyroid aspirates, and compare the strengths, limitations, and applications of the commercially available tests listed above.
Learning Objectives:
• Explain the purpose of molecular testing for thyroid FNA samples
• Develop a framework for understanding how molecular testing is performed on thyroid FNA specimens
• Compare the design and performance of the three major molecular testing platforms that are currently marketed for thyroid FNA specimens
