Article Synopsis
  • FFPE tissue samples are crucial for analyzing thyroid carcinomas and effective molecular targeting therapies, prompting the development of a new preservation technique that maintains nucleic acid quality better than traditional methods.
  • The study evaluated different specimen types—including thyroid tumors and lymph node metastases—to identify how fixation techniques impact nucleic acid quality, finding that separately fixed samples consistently displayed superior quality.
  • Results indicate that lymph node metastases can provide nucleic acid quality equal to or better than primary thyroid tumors, making them reliable sources for comprehensive genetic profiling in clinical settings.
