System and method for providing assessment of tumor and other biological components contained in tissue biopsy samples

A system comprising:

• at least one tissue fixation block having both a diseased tissue and a normal tissue embedded therein;
• and
• a computer hardware arrangement configured to:
• generate information related to the at least one tissue fixation block;
• identify, based on the generated information, both the diseased tissue and the normal tissue which are different from one another and both provided in the at least one tissue fixation block;
• and
• excise, based on the identification, at least one of the identified diseased tissue or the identified normal tissue from the at least one tissue fixation block.

A method comprising:

• embedding both a diseased tissue and a normal tissue in at least one tissue fixation block;
• generating information related to the at least one tissue fixation block by scanning the at least one tissue fixation block;
• using a computer hardware arrangement and based on the generated information, identifying both the diseased tissue and the normal tissue which are different from one another and both embedded in the at least one tissue fixation block;
• and
• excising, based on the identification, at least one of the identified diseased tissue or the identified normal tissue from the at least one tissue fixation block.
