There is not such a study. Cutting 2 vs. 1 HE/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.

Good afternoon everyone,
Does anyone know of an article or statistics discussing the impact (medical
diagnosing) of cutting 2 HE slides per block verses 1 for all routine work?
