Why not to use punch biopsies in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of prostate cancer tissue for DNA and RNA extraction?

Abstract Extraction of DNA and RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks is a critical process in molecular oncology testing. Using FFPE, it is possible to choose the portion of tissue to study, taking into account the cell morphology, storage stability and storage conditions at...
