Sandy,
I don't think it is a "standard" procedure. Ho
Sandy,
I don't think it is a "standard" procedure. However, our pathologist will
frequently ask us to keep intervening levels for possible IHC on certain
cases that are small or where the tumor is about to be exhausted. We are a
dermatopathology lab. When it is requested, we cut the whole case
We tend to take extras between levels especially on scant or needle biopsy
tissue. We do waste several thousand slides per year, but by doing this it
allows us to give the pathologist several representative sections and also
save tissue for future IHC and special stains.

we do for certain part types. sentinel lymph nodes for melanoma, renal bxs,
liver core bxs, prostate needle core bxs.

Does anyone know if it is standard to save sections from between the
levels for IP? Is it standard at your institution?
