The role of cytology specimens in molecular testing of solid tumors: techniques, limitations, and opportunities.

Diagnostic cytopathology - 1 Jun 2012

Aisner Dara L, Sams Sharon B

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies have demonstrated the suitability of cytology specimens for molecular analysis. When combined with the ability to acquire tissue in a minimally invasive manner, testing on cytology specimens is an especially attractive method for further refining diagnosis, determining prognosis, and predicting likely response to therapy as well as monitoring disease. As the demand for testing of small specimens...
