Edited by Manfred Dietel, Christian Wittekind, Gianni Bussolati, Moritz Winterfeld
Part of the Recent Results in Cancer Research series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents an overview of the most important current developments in the pre-analytical handling of tissue.
It addresses in particular potential ways to improve the situation whereby methods employed in the pre-analytical phase – the period from surgical removal of tissue to the start of pathological processing – have remained essentially unchanged for decades with only modest standardization.
It is examined how the pre-analytical period can be optimized, resulting not only in an increase in diagnostic quality but also in a reduction in processing time and costs.
Among the key topics examined are the so-called cold ischemia time between tissue removal and fixation, the potential superiority of vacuum-based preservation over immediate formalin fixation, two-temperature fixation, molecular analysis methods, and the pre-analytics of specimens from particular tissues.
Readers will find this book to be an important update that reveals the full importance of the pre-analytical phase for quality of pathological work-up.
