Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular testing of lung adenocarcinomas (ADCs) is crucial for therapy stratification of patients. Because of the often limited diagnostic material, the authors aimed to explore the suitability of cytology smears for next-generation sequencing (NGS) and compared the results with concurrent histological specimens or cell blocks. METHODS: A total of 16 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) ADCs with...
