[Histonet] FW: 1 H&E slide vs. 2

[Rene J Buesa]

There is not such a study. Cutting 2 vs. 1 H&E/block is merely a preference issue amongst pathologists. Now, if you refer to TWO different levels, that is a different issue.
Two consecutive-serial sections from each block should not have a diagnostic impact BUT two different levels, separated by 20-25 sections, may.
That is a decision to take by the pathologist.

Good afternoon everyone,

Does anyone know of an article or statistics discussing the impact (medical diagnosing) of cutting 2 H&E slides per block verses 1 for all routine work?
