If a hospital donates tissue blocks with no patient information on the
blocks and with no path report to a research facility is that within
HIPPA regulations?

HIPPA might have a problem with that. That's why we can't even get
extra
tonsils for controls anymore. HIPPA HIPPa Hooray. I

[Histonet] RE:Disposal of tissue blocks
Most places use an incinerator. But on the other hand I have another
suggestion. I work in research and we are always looking for ways to
build
up our tissue block resources. We make tissue microarrays and do tons
of
IHC on the TMAs. I would love to have another site I could get some
blocks
from. We routinely set up IRB approved projects to obtain a certain
number
of blocks with limited path report information which stays in line with
HIPPA guidelines. If this might sound like something your facility
would
be
interested in please contact me in private.
