Establishment of an Academic Tissue Microarray Platform as a Tool for Soft Tissue Sarcoma Research

Example of triplicate tissue cores transferred from an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor block to tissue microarray and the annotations on digital hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide images. Representative images of (a) an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor block and (b) its whole tissue section stained with hematoxylin and eosin demonstrated the identical areas of interest used for the construction of respective TMA (CREATE_TMA_IMFT). (c) Microscopic images for annotations on an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor whole tissue section stained with hematoxylin and eosin and (d) tissue cores of CREATE_TMA_IMFT stained with hematoxylin and eosin showed comparable histological characteristics.
