Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sample conditions for deep next generation sequencing

摘要

IntroductionPrecision medicine is only possible in oncology practice if targetable genes in fragmented DNA, such as DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, can be sequenced using next generation sequencing (NGS). The aim of this study is to examine the quality and quantity of DNA from FFPE cancerous tissue samples from surgically resected and biopsy specimens.
