Pitfalls in RET Fusion Detection Using BreakApart FISH Probes in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine cancer, of which papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) accounts for ap-proximately 80% to 90%. Notably, to our knowledge, the FISH false-negative cases in PTC observed in this study have barely been reported.

Highly Sensitive Droplet Digital PCR Method for Detection of de novo EGFR T790M Mutation in Patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sensitizing mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are the most frequent oncogenic alterations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a new generation of PCR technique for the detection of EGFR.
