Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytology smears are commonly collected during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS TBNA) procedures but are rarely used for molecular testing. Studies are needed to demonstrate their great potential, in particular for the prediction of malignant cell DNA content and for utility in molecular diagnostics using large gene panels. METHODS: A prospective study was...
