Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In cancers like osteosarcoma with a 5-year overall survival of 50-60%, archived histological specimens can be a useful source of biological material. However, this material generally has been decalcified and formalin-fixed for many years. In our study, we investigated whether DNA obtained from these tissues can be used for reliable single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. PROCEDURE: We studied...
