Liquid‐based shaking of core needle biopsy samples for the molecular characterisation of tumours: A fallback in cytopathology

Abstract

Cytological specimens may be the ideal source of nucleic acids for the molecular characterization of tumors in the next generation sequencing (NGS) era. Liquid‐based shaking of core needle biopsy samples could enhance the diagnostic yield, allowing additional material to be examined in parallel with histopathology.
