A Standardized Cell-Block Procedure that Increases Patient Care Quality (OLC)

Course overview

This session will discuss a novel cell-block procedure that has been developed which provides a standardized method for reproducibly producing cell-blocks of optimal quality. The scientific data presented prove that this method remedies the deficiencies of existing cell-block preparation methods. Histological data show that histological, proteomic and genomic integrity of the cells is optimally preserved. Statistical data show that the method results in preservation of 99.7% of the patient specimen submitted.
