RE: [Histonet] number of slides
We do 2 levels on all GIs, 3 on all needle bx, 3 on cervical, and 2 on bone marrows. We also do special stains up front on the bone marrows, H Pyloris, prostates, etc. We tend to cut a ton of extra slides that we just throw away. I don't like it but I don't think there's any way around it. Probably like most places, we get more and more smaller and smaller biopsies so it's better to keep a few extras than to try to go back later.

RE: [Histonet] number of slides
We basically do the same at Tom's lab, the only exception is we file the unstained slides with the stained slides. Especially with the FNA biopsies. We have had to pull the unstained slide to send out for IHC's.
