Article Abstract
Objectives: Although the reliability of frozen sections for the intraoperative assessment of complete tumour excision has been established, the best location for collection and the impact of the type of sampling are still debated. We retrospectively investigated the reliability of frozen sections when collected from the surgical bed as tissue strips representative of the whole superficial margin and as a bowl of tissue underlying the resection site for deep margin, and the possibility of relying on frozen section negativity to consider resections complete.
Materials And Methods: Frozen section reliability was calculated by comparing histology before and after formalin embedding and then categorised by sampling type, in 182 patients undergoing transoral resection of oral cancer.
Results: Comparing frozen and permanent histology, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 69%, 98% and 96%, respectively; categorisation by sampling type failed to produce statistically significant differences. Based on frozen section negativity after formalin embedding, complete resections were obtained in 91.7% of patients with multiple-strip and bowl frozen sections.
Conclusion: Frozen sections collected as tissue strips and bowl are as reliable as point sampling in the intraoperative guidance of surgical resections. They effectively provide for margin enlargement, thereby increasing the surgeon's confidence that negative margins are clear.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a well-established technique that allows to determine the distribution of small molecules, such as lipids, metabolites, and drugs, as well as large molecules in tissue sections. Because of the tissue heterogeneity, resulting in different matrix effects, and to the fact that the measured compounds are not entirely "extracted" from the tissue during the measurement, the absolute quantitative aspect of MSI is limited. To combine compound quantification with spatial information on fresh frozen unstained tissue sections, laser (capture) microdissection has been used to isolate tissue sections for compound extraction and LC-MS/MS quantification.

Flavan-3-ols (FL) are poorly bioavailable astringent polyphenols that induce hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of repeated oral administration of FL on mice hindlimb skeletal muscle using immunohistochemical techniques. C57BL/6J male mice were orally administered 50 mg/kg of FL for a period of 2 weeks, and bromideoxyuridine (BrdU) was administered intraperitoneally 3 days prior to the dissection.

Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a distinct invasion pattern in lung cancer, crucial for prognosis assessment and guiding surgical decisions. Histopathology is the gold standard for STAS detection, yet traditional methods are subjective, time-consuming, and prone to misdiagnosis, limiting large-scale applications. We present VERN, an image analysis model utilizing a feature-interactive Siamese graph encoder to predict STAS from lung cancer histopathological images.

A promising application of digital pathology is the use of Whole slide imaging (WSI) for rapid and remote intraoperative consultations. Based on recommendations from the College of American Pathologists, we compared diagnostic accuracy and technical analysis of WSI with optical microscopy (OM) for reporting frozen sections (FS). A series of 105 consecutive FS cases were included in our study and were categorized as primary diagnosis, assessment of margin status, and lymph node status.

Background: To reduce recurrence rates of inverted papilloma (IP), some have argued for the use of intraoperative frozen margins; results remain mixed and studies critically lack lengthy surveillance periods.
Objective: We aim to elucidate the impact of prolonged surveillance and intraoperative frozen margins on IP recurrence.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent resection of IP at a tertiary care center over a 10-year period from 2008 to 2018 followed by subsequent surveillance.
