Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: DNA extracted from malignant pleural effusion (PE) sediments is the traditional source of tumor DNA for predictive biomarker molecular testing (MT). Few recent studies have proposed the utility of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from effusion cytology centrifuged supernatants (CCS) in MT. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and utility of molecular testing on cfDNA extracted from PE...
