Key Notables on IHC Interpretation of PD-L1 SP263 on FNA samples
About this talk
Dr. Dorothy Hayden, Staff Pathologist, Companion Diagnostics with Roche Tissue Diagnostics, will discuss key insights that can be applied to successful staining and interpretation of Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) samples with the VENTANA PD-L1(SP263) Assay. FNA is a commonly used procedure for obtaining pathology samples and is often used to collect samples of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Considerations should be made in sample preparation, staining, and evaluation when FNAs are stained with immunohistochemical biomarkers for diagnostic and predictive purposes.
