Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current study was conducted to compare DNA yield, including normalization to nuclear area, DNA amplification functionality, and detection of KRAS mutations between matched fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens and pancreatic resections diagnostic of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: A retrospective sample of 30 matched single FNA smears and macrodissected formalin-fixed,...
