Abstract

Objectives: A systematic review of the literature was performed to identify whether minimum formalin fixation time may be reduced for reliable immunohistochemical assessment of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies addressing effects of brief tissue fixation (
