How can histological findings guide treatment decisions?
Histological findings are crucial for guiding treatment decisions in several ways:
Cancer Treatment: The type and grade of a tumor determine the appropriate treatment strategy, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Infection Management: Identifying the causative organism in infectious diseases helps in selecting the most effective antimicrobial therapy. Inflammatory Disease Management: Histological patterns of inflammation guide the use of immunosuppressive or anti-inflammatory medications. Transplant Decisions: Histological evaluation of donor tissues ensures their suitability for transplantation and helps monitor post-transplant rejection.
