Thyroid Nodule MicroRNA Classifier

Missouri rates for HCPCS 0018U

Helps judge whether a thyroid nodule is likely to be cancerous. It measures ten microRNA sequences — small pieces of genetic material that switch other genes up or down — in cells drawn from the nodule with a fine needle, and reports a classification rather than individual values.
