Breast Carcinoma Progression Tissue Microarrays
The CHTNBrCaProg1 TMA contains non-neoplastic breast tissue, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast, infiltrating lobular carcinoma of the breast, and cases of adenocarcinoma metastatic to regional lymph nodes. Each case is sampled one time with a 2 mm core. The TMA design includes 14 cases of non-neoplastic breast, 14 cases of DCIS, 21 cases of primary carcinoma and 7 cases of metastatic carcinoma. Histologic quality assurance limits ensure a minimum of 7 cases of non-neoplastic breast, 10 cases of infiltrating carcinoma primary to the breast and 4 cases of metatstatic carcinoma. Due to the difficulty in capturing pre-invasive neoplasia, a minimum number of DCIS cases is not being guaranteed.
This TMA represents a limited number of cases that may detect strong trends in differential gene expression, and is intended for pilot surveys and generation of hypotheses. This TMA does not contain case numbers of sufficient quantity to prove the clinical utility of a marker.
Unstained histologic sections are 4 microns thick, on charged glass slides.
