“…The fresh specimen is suspended in a gel to reduce tissue collapse and distortion, and then serially sectioned into uniform 4-mm slices suitable for processing, staining, and interpretation 8,11 . The method has been refined and demonstrates preservation of cellular morphology, reduction in specimen shrinkage, compatibility with standard breast cancer immunohistochemistry, and superiority to standard processing with respect to evaluating specimen orientation and volumetric extent of disease [12][13][14][15] . Furthermore, the wm process is the backbone for slide digitization and three-dimensional reconstructive imaging, thus providing unparalleled interpretation of the entire resected specimen.…”
