BRAF V600E mutation status, TIRADS and clinical-pathologic prognostic factors in PTCs BRAF V600E -positive patients had a significantly higher proportion of multiple tumors at surgical resection ( P = 0.017), and had a higher number of suspicious TIRADS US features with borderline significance ( P = 0.061) (Table 1 ).
