We are currently handling all prostate, lung, heart, and breast biopsies as fine needle biopsies (FNB). We cut 10 slides 3 of which are used for H&E's and the rest as unstained plus slides. What has happened is that we throw thousands of unused expensive slides a year because they are not used. Is there a general standard in practice out there for FNBs? Unfortunately, with the economy the way it is; and trying always to find ways to bring down expenses this seems counteractive.
