Abstract
The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing worldwide. Current standards in the diagnosis and management of thyroid cancer are limited by the uncertainty of fine-needle aspiration samples that are indeterminate in nature. Molecular markers have the potential to improve the accuracy of thyroid fine-needle aspiration and to aid the physician in giving a more accurate diagnosis and prognosis. This paper summarizes the various molecular markers currently available.
