Optimal Tissue Sampling: The Pathologist's Perspective

Richard H. Lash, Shari L. Taylor, Robert M. Genta

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

The pathologist's ability to correctly interpret a biopsy from the gastrointestinal tract, liver, or pancreas hinges on several factors, including the quality and provenance of the specimen, and the extent and quality of the clinical and endoscopic information provided. This chapter reviews, from the pathologists' perspective, the optimal biopsy methods for each organ, emphasizing the specific sampling requirements to maximize the diagnostic yield of mucosal and liver biopsies in a variety of clinical conditions.
