Diana McCaig asks for your protocol for cutting prostate needle core
biopsies.how many spares you cut and do you designate the level on
the slide label if multiple levels are submitted on one slide?
I worked in one of the big prostate labs for a while, and this is what
they use, and what I
4 microns and 3 for lymph nodes.

Subject: [Histonet] thickness
Routine at 4, lymph nodes/bone marrows at 2, GI/prostate at 3
Prostate we cut 3 shallow levels. pick up 2 extra slides from the second
level as unstained which get used for p63/PIN cocktail (p504s/p63) if
requested
Each slide has one level...2 sections per slide
