ResumoContext:Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the most sensitive and specific tool for the differential diagnosis of thyroid malignancy. Some limitations of FNAB can be overcome by the molecular analysis of FNAB. This review analyzes the current state and problems of the molecular analysis of FNAB as well as possible goals for increasing the diagnostic rate, especially in the indeterminate/follicular lesion cytological group.
