I am not sure how many of you get the Archives of Pathology and
Laboratory Medicine, but there is an article in the January 2007 edition
which states that "Fixation times for needle biopsies has not been
addressed". It is on page 38 under Appendix E.
With this statement, if we are doing Her2 on breast core biopsies,
nothing needs to change and the guideline would only pertain to
specimens which require sectioning in the grossing stage.  What do you
think?
