Abstract excerpt
Lung cancer biopsy material is limited and is used for morphologic diagnosis and immunohistochemical and molecular testing. This can lead to tissue exhaustion, resulting in repeat biopsies (when clinically possible), delayed testing, and increased risks. Consequently, there is a need to optimize preanalytical specimen use for molecular testing. Although hematoxylin/eosin can be used for as a DNA source for...
