How are Tissue Samples Collected for Histological Analysis?
Tissue samples can be collected through various methods:
Biopsy: A small sample of tissue is removed from the body for analysis. Types of biopsies include needle biopsy, excisional biopsy, and endoscopic biopsy. Surgical resection: Larger tissue samples or entire organs are removed during surgery for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Fine-needle aspiration: A thin needle is used to extract cells from a lump or mass for analysis.
