ABSTRACT Concerning good practice for the management of histological cancer specimen, the main recommendations concern: (1) the quality of transmission in information between professionals; (2) the necessity of fresh, unfractionated, oriented surgical samples; (3) the importance of an appropriate storage condition for samples collected for extemporaneous examination, freezing or cell culture; (4) the quality of the deep freezer at temperatures of -80 degrees C or liquid nitrogen for frozen samples storage; (5) the importance of fixing tissues shortly after sample collection in buffered Formal solution in order to prevent cell lysis.
