I agree if the tissue is cut properly you should not need an extended program
but when you have residents and PA's they tend to rush and their sections are
thicker. We do not have an extended program still within the CAP limits and it
works quite nicely.

I'd like to know how many labs use an extended protocol to process fatty breast
tissue. Does an extended protocol really work. I still believe if the tissue is
submitted in small, thin and adequately fixed sections prior to processing
there should be no need for a 16 hour processing cycle.
Any
