Comparison between tissue obtained from a primary hysterectomy specimen and tissue obtained from core needle biopsy at the time of recurrence. Recurrence tissues are much smaller, have less tumor cells, and commonly consist of tumor cells admixed with stroma. This latter feature may necessitate the use of laser capture microdissection prior to PCR-based molecular diagnostics testing.
