Evaluation of a method for controlled tissue embedding for histologic evaluation of tumor margins
The American Journal of Dermatopathology
|August 1, 1987
Abstract:
Controlled tissue embedding is a method which facilitates the histologic search of margins of excised skin and subcutaneous tissue for evidence of tumor extensions. Used on frozen unfixed specimens, data obtained from a study of 141 sections made from 32 excised tumors show that controlled embedding allows for adequate assessment of surgical margins in less time and with less tissue cutting as compared to conventional methods.
