Tissue Acquisition and Specimen Processing in the Diagnosis of NSCLC.
Abstract The current management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) requires pathological differentiation between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma using immunohistochemistry and morphological analysis. Additionally, as novel therapies for specific genetic mutation and chromosomal rearrangement profiles in patients with adenocarcinoma are becoming more numerous and clinically available, adequate tissue acquisition and specimen processing have become crucial. Historically, tissue was obtained via mediastinoscopy or video-assisted thoracoscopy (VATS). However, 80% of patients with lung cancer are ultimate...
