[Histonet] Levels on biopsies

[Charles Riley]

We usually cut 3 lvls/slides for prostate/vaginal/bladder and anus.  6 lvls/slides for cervical tissues. In the end it is the pathologists comfort level with sectioning to make the diagnosis.

Hi All,
I'm curious to know how many levels your lab cuts on the following biopsies: prostate core, cervical, vaginal, bladder, and anus biopsies.  I ask this because we are currently (and have been for years) giving our pathologists 3 levels/slides for each of these and they recently requested that we only give them one slide with two sections. Thank you in advance for any responses.
