Actual (reported)Recently, targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms have been introduced that allow inexpensive testing for hundreds of mutational hotspots at the same time. A number of additional mutational markers in thyroid cancer have been identified. Highly promising markers associated with tumor prognosis have also been found. This multi-institutional study aims to validate the diagnostic use of mutational markers in thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology. The proposed hypothesis is that a broad NGS-based genotyping of thyroid nodules using a large panel of mutational markers applied to thyroid FNA samples can provide an accurate cancer risk stratification in thyroid nodules. The performance of the panel will be tested in a multi-institutional double-blind prospective study of FNA samples from thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology and available surgical outcome

Actual (reported)Primary outcomes
The primary outcome measured in this study is the performance (sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV) of the Thyroseq Panel in diagnosing cancer in thyroid nodules with Bethesda III, VI and V cytology.
April 2016
Patients that undergo a clinically diagnostic thyroid FNA will be asked by their clinician, who is a study co-investigator, if they are interested in participating in the research study. A small part of FNA material will be collected for molecular analysis.
Patients that undergo a routine diagnostic thyroid FNA that consent in participating in the research study whose samples have indeterminate cytologic diagnosis (Bethesda III, VI, or V) and surgical outcome are submitted for molecular testing. (Sample will be given a code that de-identifies the sample before it is sent to the testing laboratory. The lab that will analyze specimens is a CLIA certified Pitt lab.)
