Frozen Sections
The frozen section procedure is a pathological laboratory procedure to perform rapid microscopic analysis of a specimen, and essential diagnostic tool in many organisations. It is used most often in oncological surgery. The technical name for this procedure is Cryosection.
The principal use of the frozen section procedure is the examination of tissue, while surgery is taking place.
Participants are asked to submit 1 case of 1 slide for submission from the date indicated on the delivery letter. The slide requested should be a true representation of that case, and a true representation of the quality performed in that centre as part of their routine daily workload.
