Abstract: Cytomorphological evaluation of tissue touch imprints during rapid on-site evaluation or intraoperative pathology consultation has crucial value. However, literature on their utility for molecular testing is limited. In this study, we emphasize a further benefit of touch imprint slides and scrutinize our institutional experience on their use in molecular testing, specifically next generation sequencing (NGS).
