Assessment of Nucleic Acid Quality in Unstained Cytology Specimens for Cancer Genomic Testing
Nucleic acids extracted from unstained specimens preserved high quality over 6 months, suggesting that such specimens are suitable for genetic testing. This finding has significant implications for the long-term storage and clinical application of cytological specimens in cancer genome medicine.
