Abstract
Our results suggest that multi-gene analyses from waste brushing specimens using RNA-based Sanger sequencing is highly feasible. This approach offers an opportunity to overcome the dilemma of flexible bronchoscopy in molecular diagnostics for lung cancer, and could potentially recruit more patients for targeted therapy according to the molecular characteristics of the tumor cells.
