Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Knowledge about tumour gene mutation status is essential for the treatment of increasing numbers of cancer patients, and testing quality has a major impact on treatment response and cost. In 2012, 4,629 tests for BRAF p.V600 were performed in France, in patients with melanomas. METHODS: Two batches of unstained melanoma sections were sent, in May and November 2012, to the 46 laboratories supported by...
