Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is now a widely used method for cytologic screening and cancer diagnosis. Since the cells are fixed with alcohol-based fixatives, and the specimens are stored in a liquid condition, LBC specimens are suitable for genetic analyses. METHODS: Here, we established a small cancer gene panel, including 60 genes and 17 microsatellite markers for next-generation sequencing, and...
