@SeanLachhander Amazing! my best wishes to you both.

Got married to my best friend this past weekend — here’s to love, laughter, and happily ever after.

@CancerCytopath Yes - very feasible. We recently also published our experience with 300+ cytology samples - outlining that with proper handling, these samples are sufficient for ultra-rapid mutation screening and reflex comprehensive NGS.

New! Archived cytological specimens can be a feasible alternative with which to identify actionable mutations and fusion genes via the Oncomine Dx Target Test Multi‐CDx system. bit.ly/2Q9vyYz

Testing for kinase fusions is of particular value after resistance to endocrine therapy emerges if ESR1 is wild type as it opens another avenue for treatment. We did find (rare) kinase fusions in endocrine therapy- naive tumors as well!
