Comparison of EGFR mutation detection between the tissue and cytology using direct sequencing, pyrosequencing and peptide nucleic acid clamping in lung adenocarcinoma: Korean multicentre study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The importance of sensitive methods for the detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is emphasized. The aim of this study is to perform comparative and concordance analyses of direct sequencing, pyrosequencing and peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamping for detecting EGFR gene mutations using archived tissue and cytology specimens. METHODS: Samples from a total of 112 cases, which...
