Tumor cell enrichment by tissue suspension enables detection of mutations with low variant allele frequency and estimation of germline mutations

Abstract Targeted sequencing offers an opportunity to select specific drugs for cancer patients based on alterations in their genome. However, accurate sequencing cannot be performed in cancers harboring diffuse tumor cells because of low tumor content. We performed tumor cell enrichment using tissu...
