A fluorescence in situ hybridization-based assay (FISH) for improved detection of lung cancer cells in bronchial washing specimens. Cancer Cytopathol2002;96:306–15OpenUrl This group from the US and Switzerland performed a retrospective study comparing FISH with conventional cytology on 61 stored bronchial washing samples. Twenty two of the samples were negative for lung cancer and thus acted … ER -
