EVALUATING THE ADEQUACY OF TRANSPLANT KIDNEY BIOPSIES

Pdf Summary

The document discusses the importance of bone biopsies for diagnosing various conditions and the challenges in processing them. It highlights the significance of decalcification methods in preserving tissue for ancillary testing. Breast biomarker testing, focusing on ER, PR, and HER2, is crucial for guiding treatment decisions in breast cancer. Standardized preanalytic factors like fixative choice, cold ischemic time, and fixation duration are essential for accurate results in biomarker testing. The article emphasizes the impact of these factors on personalized medicine and optimal patient care. It also touches on historical facts related to cancer chemotherapy discoveries. Multiple-choice questions at the end test knowledge on decalcification methods, impact of cold ischemic time, significance of biomarker testing, benefits of standardized preanalytic factors, and optimal fixation time for breast biomarker studies.
