Plopped into a stainless-steel bowl, the polyp was rushed to the pathology laboratory only a couple of doors away. There, Dr. Lewis B. Woolner (Mayo) and Dr. James Humes (Navy) swiftly cut the main part in two and sprayed one half with a substance to deep-freeze it instantly. Then, with a microtome, they cut off slices only hundredths of a millimeter thick. Examined under the microscope, all the cells appeared to be normal; the polyp was noncancerous.
