Real-time PCR and targeted next-generation sequencing in the detection of low level EGFR mutations: Instructive case analyses
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Allele specific real-time PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are widely used to detect somatic mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Both methods commonly use formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues as diagnostic materials. Real-time PCR has the advantage of being easy to use and more tolerant of variable DNA quality, but has limited multiplex capability. NGS, in contrast, allows...
