- Cytology will be reviewed by Laboratory of Pathology, NCI or a pathology laboratory at the enrolling institution. Once patients provide written informed consent, they will receive routine history, physical, radiographic (neck ultrasonography (USG), and/or other indicated tests) examinations as well as blood tests. Preoperative fine needle aspiration for cytology and BRAFV600E mutation will be performed if participant has not had either test performed.
