FFPE samples from cavitational ultrasonic surgical aspirates are suitable for RNA profiling of gliomas.

During surgical procedures for gliomas, tissue material obtained from cavitational ultrasonic surgical aspirators (CUSAs) is generally discarded but can actually exceed the amount and quality of certain tumour core resections (TCRs). Despite reports indicating the suitability of CUSA-derived materia...
