摘要: Fadhil W, Ibrahem S, Seth R, AbuAli G, Ragunath K, Kaye P & Ilyas M (2012) Histopathology The utility of diagnostic biopsy specimens for predictive molecular testing in colorectal cancer Aims: If stratified medicine is to be applied the neoadjuvant setting, will have undertaken on preoperative specimens. aim this study was evaluate whether a adequately representative main tumour cancer. Methods and results: Thirty cases paired subsequent resection were randomly selected. Samples screened mutation KRAS (codons 12/13, 61, 146), BRAF (codon 600 exon 11), PIK3CA (exons 1, 9, 20), TP53 5–8), microsatellite instability, using quick multiplex consensus or standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols followed by high-resolution melting analysis. A total 570 PCR tests performed detection, identical results obtained both 569 (>99% concordance). Four (13%) showed and, all four cases, instability seen at mononucleotide markers matched specimens. Conclusions: This first show that specimens, even though they are tiny sample tumour, sufficiently use early driver mutations cancer.
