<DIV>Good afternoon everyone,</DIV>
<DIV>We routinely cut our negative sentinel node biopsies shallow, cutting 5
levels (mounting levels 2 and 4 for IHC), approximately 30 microns between
levels. Now, a pathologist read that "most institutions" are cutting them
deeper, approximately 100 microns between levels. This is totally an
INFORMAL poll, but I would appreciate any feedback from the community. I
will check the archives as well, but thought I would get the question out there
before everyone heads off to Kentucky:-) Thanks.
