Multiomic analyses of blood and surgical specimens
Multiomic analyses of blood and surgical specimens: The following items will be evaluated:
* cell free dna length and integrity
* presence or absence of SNPs in cfDNA and in DNA extracted from surgical samples
* qualitative and quantitative evaluation of serum and surgical specimens proteome (proteomics)
Study summary
Indeterminate thyroid nodules have a mild risk of malignancy (15-30%). The aim of our study is to individuate new biomarkers of thyroid carcinoma through multiomic analyses of blood samples and of specimen samples of patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules.
