[Histonet] Prostate needle core protocols

[Joanne Clark]

Hi all, my doc's want to know what protocol others use for cutting
needle core biopsies of prostate.  We cut a serial ribbon pick up one
for H&E and the rest are kept as unstained slides, than trim in about
16-20 microns and take another serial section same as above and than
repeat a third time.  How do other labs cut their prostates biopsies?
