Background Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is emerging as a surrogate sample type for mutation analyses. We investigated the suitability of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and plasma as a biomaterial for analyzing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation by peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamping-assisted fluorescence melting curve (PANAMutyper™) analysis. Methods Matched tissue, MPE cell block (MPE-C, MPE supernatant, and plasma samples were collected from patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma who had a MPE at the
