Next-generation sequencing analysis of endometrial screening liquid-based cytology specimens: a comparative study to tissue specimens

Abstract Background Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is now a widely used method for cytologic screening and cancer diagnosis. Since the cells are fixed with alcohol-based fixatives, and the specimens are stored in a liquid condition, LBC specimens are suitable for genetic analyses. Methods Here, we esta...
