Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to identify the clinical utility of genomic analysis of ascitic fluid cytology (AC) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS: Targeted next-generation sequencing was used to analyze 66 samples from 33 patients who had ovarian (n = 23), fallopian tube (n = 2), and peritoneal (n = 8) carcinoma, and the concordance rate of molecular profiles was compared between...
