How Does Histological Analysis Guide Surgical Decisions?
Histological analysis provides detailed information about the tissue architecture, cellular morphology, and the presence of specific markers. This helps surgeons:
Determine the type of lesion: Benign, malignant, inflammatory, or infectious. Assess the margins of resection: Ensuring complete removal of the diseased tissue. Plan for reconstructive surgery: If large areas of tissue need to be removed. Decide on adjuvant therapies: Like chemotherapy or radiotherapy, based on the histological findings.
