The Value of Combined Large Format Histopathology Technique to Assess the Surgically Removed Breast Tissue following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: A Single Institution Study of 40 Cases

Figure 2

Partial mastectomy cut into four slices. Slice one (top) is anterior and slice 4 (bottom) is posterior. These two are sectioned in the perpendicular plane to evaluate those two margins microscopically. Slice 2 is cut into small pieces and entirely submitted for standard histologic sections. Slice 3 is processed intact for large format histopathology.
