Abstract
Presence of metastasis translates unequivocally into worse prognosis for our patients. Translational medicine has been our response to offer patients better therapeutic options. This chapter aims to provide an overview for clinicians to send the necessary metastatic tissue on the right path toward the laboratory bench, overcoming biases and possible data misinterpretations derived from poor sample quality.
