Abstract
The present invention provides a method for classification of thyroid tumors through the analysis of the expression patterns of specific microRNAs in fine needle aspiration samples. Thyroid tumor classification according to a microRNA expression signature allows optimization of diagnosis and treatment, as well as determination of signature-specific therapy.
