How Can Patients Be Informed About Their Histology Results?
Effective communication between healthcare providers and patients is essential when discussing histology results. Patients should be informed about:
The purpose and process of the biopsy. The meaning of the histological findings. Implications for their diagnosis and treatment options. The potential need for further tests or follow-up biopsies.
Clear and compassionate communication helps patients understand their condition, reducing anxiety and enabling them to make informed decisions about their care.
