How Does Histological Examination Guide Treatment?
Histological examination provides information that is crucial for treatment decisions. For example:
- Cancer Diagnosis: Identifying cancerous cells and determining the type and grade of cancer. - Surgical Margins: Assessing whether the resected tissue has clear margins, meaning no cancer cells are present at the edges, indicating complete removal. - Inflammation and Infection: Detecting signs of inflammation or infection to guide antibiotic or anti-inflammatory treatment.
