LCM is often combined with other advanced technologies to enhance cancer research: - Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Enables comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic analysis of isolated cells. - Mass Spectrometry: Allows detailed proteomic analysis. - Single-Cell Analysis: Provides insights into cellular heterogeneity within tumors. - Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Used for visualizing specific proteins within the context of tissue architecture before LCM.
