The Afirma Genomic Sequencing Classifier (GSC) is a rule‐out test for malignancy/noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary‐like nuclear features among patients with Bethesda category III/IV nodules, whereas the complimentary Xpression Atlas provides genomic insights from a curated panel of 511 genes among GSC suspicious and Bethesda category V/VI nodules. Together, they facilitate personalized treatment decisions based on genomic insights derived from the transcriptome of the biopsied target and extend the diagnostic and therapeutic reach of cytopathologists and fine‐needle aspiration biopsy sample collection.
AfiRa 基因测序分类器(GSC)是一种排除恶性肿瘤/非侵袭性滤泡性甲状腺肿瘤的检测方法,适用于 Bethesda 分类法 III/IV 级结节的患者,且这些患者具有甲状腺乳头状核特征。而 Xpression Atlas 则通过对 GSC 可疑结节和 Bethesda 分类法 V/VI 级结节中的 511 个基因进行精选,提供基因组信息。这两种检测方法相辅相成,有助于根据活检目标转录组的基因组信息做出个性化的治疗决策,并扩大细胞病理学家的诊断和治疗范围,增加细针抽吸活检样本的采集。
