Targeted RNA-Sequencing Detects Fusion Gene Signature in Rare Form of Lung Cancer
PHILADELPHIA (April 29, 2019) — Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) based RNA-sequencing, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center found a fusion gene signature in primary tracheobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare lung tumor. This study is the first time the MYB/MYBL1 fusion genes have been systemically investigated for this cancer type.
