Abstract
Molecular and immunohistochemical analysis of tissue samples are useful tools to establish prognostic and predictive factors in breast cancer. The efficiency of these techniques is based on a correct management of surgical specimens which includes pre-analytic controls such time of ischemia, appropriate fixation, gross manipulation and paraffin embedding. It is also important the right selection of tumor representation for study submission. The accuracy of all these steps will affect in the optimal result of the immunohistochemical and molecular test applied.
