Tissue microarray for routine clinical breast biomarker analysis. The British Columbia Cancer Agency 2008 experience.
Clinical use of tissue microarrays for immunohistochemical analysis of breast biomarkers, namely estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2, was instituted in our laboratory in 2008. The method has proved reliable and cost-effective. We report the results of the initial year of testing with this method.
متن کاملTissue microarray for routine analysis of breast biomarkers in the clinical laboratory.
Tissue microarray analysis (TMA) allows multiple analyses on multiple patients on sections from a single paraffin block. Although it is widely used in research and in quality assurance settings, there are few references to its use in clinical practice. This study evaluated TMA assessment of breast biomarkers using immunohistochemical analysis in a clinical histopathology laboratory. Performance...
متن کاملA Next-generation Tissue Microarray (ngTMA) Protocol for Biomarker Studies
Biomarker research relies on tissue microarrays (TMA). TMAs are produced by repeated transfer of small tissue cores from a 'donor' block into a 'recipient' block and then used for a variety of biomarker applications. The construction of conventional TMAs is labor intensive, imprecise, and time-consuming. Here, a protocol using next-generation Tissue Microarrays (ngTMA) is outlined. ngTMA is bas...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical analysis of breast tissue microarray images using contextual classifiers
BACKGROUND Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are an important tool in translational research for examining multiple cancers for molecular and protein markers. Automatic immunohistochemical (IHC) scoring of breast TMA images remains a challenging problem. METHODS A two-stage approach that involves localization of regions of invasive and in-situ carcinoma followed by ordinal IHC scoring of nuclei in th...
متن کاملRegularized biomarker selection in microarray meta-analysis
Motivation: In pharmacogenetic studies, it is common that multiple microarray experiments are conducted to investigate the relationship between the same clinical outcome and gene expressions. An important goal of such experiments is to discover a small number of influential genes out of thousands being measured. To increase statistical power and achieve consistent biomarker selection across mul...
