Figure 1.

Mutational profiles identified in primary tumors, BW supernatants, and BW precipitates using ultra‐deep next‐generation sequencing. (A): Venn diagrams showing the overlap of mutations in primary tumors, BW supernatants, and BW precipitates. (B): Representative missense mutations identified in BW supernatants (left, adenocarcinoma; right, squamous cell carcinoma). (C): Comparison of mutant allele frequencies in primary tumors, BW supernatants, and BW precipitates. p values by Mann‐Whitney U test. (D): Correlations of mutant allele frequencies in BW supernatants and BW precipitates.

Abbreviation: BW, bronchial washing.
