Detection of Tumor DNA in Bronchoscopic Fluids in Peripheral NSCLC: A Proof-of-Concept Study
Introduction: DNA genotyping from plasma is a useful tool for molecular characterization of NSCLC.Nevertheless, the false-negative rate justifies the development of methods with higher sensitivity, especially in difficult-to-reach peripheral lung tumors.Methods: We aimed at comparing molecular analysis from the supernatant of guide sheath flush flu
