MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF CELLULAR FLUID AND LIQUID CYTOLOGY SPECIMENS FOR CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND INTEGRATION WITH MICROSCOPIC PATHOLOGY EVALUATION

摘要

Provided are materials, methods, platforms, and kits for diagnosing, prognosing, and/or determining the biological aggressiveness of a tumor (malignant and non-malignant) based in part on the temporal profile of genomic deletion expansion of the tumor. Also provided are methods of determining marker panels for different diseases and/or tissues and markers identified by these methods.
