Recently, the restricted expression of oncofetal fibronectin mRNA was reported in thyroid papillary and anaplastic carcinomas. In this study, by extracting RNA from the leftover cells inside the needles used for fine-needle aspiration biopsy, we establish a new method for gene diagnosis of these carcinomas without further invasiveness to the patient (aspiration biopsy-reverse transcription-PCR, ABRP). RNA was extracted from 177 fine-needle aspiration biopsies of thyroid nodules that were suspicious for malignancy, and then the gene diagnoses made by reverse transciption-PCR detection of oncofetal fibronectin mRNA were compared with cytological diagnoses. Thirty-five (94.6%) of 37 samples that were diagnosed as papillary or anaplastic carcinomas by cytological examination showed a positive result by gene diagnosis, whereas only 4 (3.7%) of 109 samples that were cytologically diagnosed negative for both carcinomas showed a positive result. Among all of the cases, 50 patients underwent surgery, and a histological diagnosis was consequently made. The sensitivity and specificity of this method were 96.9 and 100%, respectively. A combined examination using both genetic and cytological approaches may contribute to a more precise preoperative diagnosis of papillary and anaplastic carcinomas.
