Figure 3From: The molecular basis of lung cancer: molecular abnormalities and therapeutic implicationsTissue microarrays (TMAs) of lung cancer. TMAs are comprised of core biopsies of 0.6 mm in diameter of different tumors and of uninvolved lung from the same individuals. We retrieved 240 NSCLC tissue blocks from the pathological archives of Vanderbilt University between 1989 and 2001 and arrayed them in triplicate onto 4 separate TMAs. Tissue microarrays allow high throughput analysis of molecular markers identified in squamous lung neoplasia.Back to article page
