There is not such a study. Cutting 2 vs. 1 H&E/block is merely a preference issue amongst pathologists. Now, if you refer to TWO different levels, that is a different issue. Two consecutive-serial sections from each block should not have a diagnostic impact BUT two different levels, separated by 20-25 sections, may. That is a decision to take by the pathologist. René J.
