        Optimized sample handling #10
      

ImagePhoto: finished H&E slide, colored-pen bracket shaped marking (on the glass slide) of cancer foci, fully oriented, allows maximal presentation of qualitative and quantitative information.

OPTIMIZED HANDLING, CONCLUSIONS:
  • Allows exact ID as to which biopsies contain cancer.
  • Discern measured cancerous segments and single segment vs. multi-focal cancer.
  • Therefore, one is sure exactly where and how much cancer in sextant series.
  • Taking into account the partly tangential nature of biopty-gun biopsies, there is still some possible discernment of whether positivity is toward capsular or non-capsular end of core...could this speak to the risk of extra-capsular tumor?
