Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytology specimens are often used for biomarker testing in the setting of neoplasia. On occasion, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) cell blocks unfortunately may not yield sufficient material for testing. Recent studies have suggested that residual supernatant fluid from cell block preparation is a valuable source of DNA: both cellular and cell-free DNA (cfDNA). In the present study, the use of...
