Method for analysing a tissue sample

A method of analyzing a patient tissue sample to determine a fraction of diseased tissue while essentially preserving at least one of genomic property, proteomic property, epigenomic property and biophysical property of the tissue sample, the method comprising the steps of:

• preparing sections from the tissue sample;
• subjecting at least one of the prepared sections to a histological/cytological examination;
• and
• subjecting at least another one of the prepared sections to a non-morphological analytical testing,
• wherein in the histological/cytological examination, at least one of a quantitative fraction of diseased tissue or cells and another morphological aspect of the at least one of the prepared sections is determined by an image processing system, and
• wherein the determined at least one of a quantitative fraction of diseased tissue or cells and another morphological aspect is used as a reference quantity on which evaluation of a result of the non-morphological analytical testing is based.

• taking a sample from the tissue sample;
• subjecting at least one portion of the sample to a histological/cytological examination;
• and
• subjecting at least another portion of the sample to a non-morphological analytical testing,
• wherein in the histological/cytological examination, at least one of a quantitative fraction of diseased tissue or cells and another morphological aspect of the at least one portion of the sample is determined by an image processing system, and
• wherein the determined at least one of a quantitative fraction of diseased tissue or cells and another morphological aspect is used as a reference quantity on which evaluation of a result of the non-morphological analytical testing is based.
