Detecting cellular changes involves several techniques:
Histopathology Histopathology involves the examination of tissues under a microscope to identify abnormal cellular changes. This technique is commonly used in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.
Cytology Cytology is the study of individual cells and their abnormalities. Techniques such as the Pap smear are used to detect cellular changes in the cervix that may indicate precancerous conditions.
Immunohistochemistry Immunohistochemistry involves the use of antibodies to detect specific proteins in cells and tissues. This technique can help identify specific types of cancer and other diseases by revealing the presence of abnormal proteins.
