Molecular diagnosis for detecting KRAS mutation in peritoneal washing fluid of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Positive peritoneal washing cytology is an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, its sensitivity is relatively low.

Summary: | Positive peritoneal washing cytology is an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, its sensitivity is relatively low. This study evaluated the performance of peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-directed PCR clamping as a molecular-based peritoneal washing cytology for sensitive detection of
KRAS
mutation in PDAC. Intraoperative peritoneal washing fluid (IPWF) obtained from patients with PDAC who underwent surgery was analyzed. PNA-directed PCR clamping was performed on DNA extracted from IPWF. Among 54 patients enrolled, threshold cycle (Ct) was significantly lower in patients with positive peritoneal washing cytology than in those with negative peritoneal washing cytology (
