title: Tissue microarrays from biopsy specimens.
abstract: The construction of tissue microarrays from needle core biopsy specimens allows for the study of diseases with limited tissue samples and provides insight into tumors that are treated with nonsurgical approaches. While the techniques are technically challenging, in the hands of investigators they can reveal new insights into biomarkers of disease.
