Molecular Markers for Prostate Cancer in Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Tissues
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most frequently diagnosed type of cancer in developed countries. The decisive method of diagnosis is based on the results of biopsies, morphologically evaluated to determine the presence or absence of cancer. Although this approach leads to a confident diagnosis in most cases, it can be improved by using the molecular markers present in the tissue. Both miRNAs and p...
متن کاملImmunostaining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues for malignant lymphomas.
With the advent of new monoclonal antibodies that are applicable to formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded sections, immunophenotyping is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis and classification of lymphomas. However, multiple factors such as fixation, trypsinization and even type of antibodies used have certain effects on the final outcome of the staining procedure. In this paper we repo...
متن کاملNucleic Acids Extraction from Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Tissues
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are an important sample source for ret‐ rospective studies. Despite its ability to preserve proteins and cell morphology, formalin hinders molecular biology tests since it fragments and chemically modifies nucleic acids, especially RNA. Although several studies describe techniques that allow extracting nu‐ cleic acids from FFPE tissues, so far the...
متن کاملToward deciphering proteomes of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens comprise a potentially valuable resource for both prospective and retrospective biomarker discovery. Unlocking the proteomic profile of clinicopathological FFPE tissues is a critically essential step for annotating clinical findings and predicting biomarkers for ultimate disease prognosis and therapeutic follow-up.
متن کاملMassively parallel sequencing of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues
Formalin fixation followed by paraffin embedment (FFPE) is the most common method of preserving resected tissues. FFPEs can be easily stored, retrieved and processed for further analysis when compared to the logistical complications of processing fresh frozen (FF) material. Conversely, they may not be ideal for sequencing because of the nucleic acid fragmentation and artifacts introduced by fix...
