How diagnostic performance of ThyroSeq compares with other tests?

👉According to the ThyroSeq clinical validation study supplemental table, reported in JAMA Oncology, ThyroSeq GC has a benign call rate of 61%, as compared to the Afirma GSC rate of 54%, which indicates that ThyroSeq allows more patients to safely avoid diagnostic surgeries.

👉Additionally, ThyroSeq GC has a higher negative call rate for histologically benign nodules with indeterminate cytology (82%) than Afirma GSC (68%).

👉This means that patients with nodules that have indeterminate cytology but are histologically benign would avoid diagnostic surgery with ThyroSeq GC more often than with Afirma GSC.
