Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cancer genome profiling of cytology specimens using next-generation sequencing (NGS) requires adequate and good-quality DNA. Genomic examination of cytology samples was conventionally performed on cell block (CB) or smear specimens than on residual liquid-based cytology (LBC) specimens, which are high-quality DNA sources even after long-term storage. METHODS: We estimated tumor fractions of 37...
