WMH demonstrates enhanced legibility for pathologist. (a) WMH demonstrates enhanced general legibility. It is hard to recognize an intact cross-section image in conventional histopathologic sections. In contrast, WMH preserves the intact cross-section and provides more comprehensive view of intact cross-section. (b) WMH demonstrates enhanced lesion-scale legibility. The disordered arrangement complicates the examination of large tumor lesion, and the cutting edges may cause missing or distortion of the prostatic tissue. While WMH provides a complete and comprehensible view of the large tumor lesion. WMH = whole mount histopathology
