| permanent section biopsy | term type: main entry term part of speech: noun number: singular reliability code: 10 definition: examination of tissue for cancer cells. The tissue taken for the biopsy is put through a series of solutions that eliminate water and fatty substances. It is then saturated with warm liquid paraffin. When it gets hard, it is cut into thin slices, which are then placed on slides and stained to bring out cell formations and their nuclei. This test is more accurate than frozen section biopsy and it is always performed, regardless of wether a frozen section was done. (en) check date: 10/08/2001 |
