  • Method and means for distinguishing malignant from benign tumor samples, in particular in routine air dried fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB)
    Publication number: 20140030714
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and means for distinguishing malignant from benign tumor samples of the thyroid, by performing a RNA extraction in a standard fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) sample, in particular an air dried FNAB smear. The presence of gene-rearrangements and/or the expression of miRNA is analyzed in the isolated RNA, wherein the presence of a gene-rearrangement and/or the differential expression of miRNA is indicative for a malignant tumor.
