Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Cytology of bile duct brushings (BDBs) is a specific, but insensitive, test for malignancy. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of BDBs has recently been shown to improve sensitivity. We analyzed the cytologic features of NGS-positive (NGS+) and NGS-negative (NGS-) BDBs and correlated the morphology with the presence of mutations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 96 BDBs were analyzed for 29 cytologic...
