Nasopharyngeal brushing: a convenient and feasible sampling method for nucleic acid‐based nasopharyngeal carcinoma research
4 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tissue specimens for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) research are scarce because of sampling difficulties. Previous studies have suggested non-invasive nasopharyngeal brushing as an effective sampling method for NPC diagnosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of nasopharyngeal brushing in the acquisition of NPC nucleic acids for research. METHODS: Nasopharyngeal brushing samples were...
