Bronchial Washing Fluid Versus Plasma and Bronchoscopy Biopsy Samples for Detecting Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Status in Lung Cancer

Bronchial Washing Fluid Versus Plasma and Bronchoscopy Biopsy Samples for Detecting Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Status in Lung Cancer

BackgroundBronchial washing fluid (BWF) is a common specimen collected during bronchoscopy and has been suggested to contain both tumor cells and cell-free DNA. However, there is no consensus on the feasibility of BWF in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) genetic analysis because of the limited...
