Abstract
We report an external analysis of Thyroseq performance in the evaluation of indeterminate thyroid nodules. These data indicate that Thyroseq is likely to offer high negative predictive value but low positive predictive value. Many genetic alterations appear to be nonspecific for malignancy, and positive results should be interpreted with caution. These findings have implications for the management of indeterminate thyroid nodules profiled with Thyroseq.
