title: [New methods in cancer research--tissue microarray].
abstract: Cancer research advances imperiously requested for a new reliable method for biomarker tissue localization study, with standardized experimental conditions, reproducible, fast and at low-prices. Tissue Microarrays technique is the most important discovery in histopathology techniques in the last decade. It mainly consists in bringing and precisely organizing in a single paraffin block of hundreds of micro-cylinders from different blocks. Sections from this new block may be processed using almost all analyses (immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization). The clear sightedness of those who developed this technique is proved by its rapid acceptance and integration in basic research, prognostic factors oncology and drugs discovery, reflected in hundreds of publications.
