    Laser-Microdissection in Pathology





    Microdissection of normal or abnormal cells by itself is not a new methodology. Technology has, however, been recently significantly improved by the development of laser dissection tools. A whole spectrum of issues which are a constant source of discussion in pathology can now be systematically addressed with modern gene amplification or other molecular biology or cell biochemical techniques.

    The investigation of tumor heterogeneity, tumor cell clonality as well as gene expression in relation to histomorphological topology represent just a few examples in this context. Background, methodological aspects and recent results will be presented in this workshop session to stimulate mutual information exchange and discussion.
