tissue microarrays, a revolution in pathology research
نویسندگان
چکیده
a long-lasting problem in the analysis of tissue samples is the time-consuming and repetitive process of histologic preparation and pathologic review of tissue sections. these two critical factors, innate nonuniformity in preparation and subjectivity of analysis, therefore limit the scientific and statistical thoroughness of tissue based studies. employing tissue microarray (tma) technique provides a potential solution to each of these problems. this review discusses the methods of creating tissue microarrays, the advantages and disadvantages of the technology, analysis methods, and recent tma applications.

The TMA is a high-throughput technique to assess thousands of different cores of pathological tissue simultaneously using morphological and molecular analyses, e.g. immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, whilst maintaining an accurate and efficient method of identifying each specific section. Using this technique an economy in cutting and staining can also be used, with an unprecedente...

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PATHOLOGISTS AND RADIOLOGISTS SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF COMMON GROUND: the pathologists examine cells in ultrathin tissue slices having the area of a postage stamp, while the radiologists examine images of an entire organ, but without seeing the cellular details. The current practice of examining breast cancer specimens is analogous to scrutinizing individual pieces of a jigs...
متن کاملDecline in Antigenicity of Tumor Markers by Storage Time Using Pathology Sections Cut From Tissue Microarrays
Sectioning a whole tissue microarrray (TMA block) and storing the sections maximizes the number of sections obtained, but may impair the antigenicity of the stored sections. We have investigated the impact of TMA section storage on antigenicity. First, we reexamined existing TMA data to determine whether antigenicity in stored sections changes over time. Component scores for each marker, based ...
