How Does Histology Help in Monitoring Treatment Response?
Histology provides detailed information about cellular and extracellular structures in tissues. When a patient undergoes treatment, histological analysis can reveal changes in tissue architecture, cellular morphology, and the presence of specific biomarkers. These changes help determine whether a treatment is effective, partially effective, or ineffective. For example, in cancer treatment, histological examination can show a reduction in tumor size, necrosis of cancer cells, or normalization of tissue structures.
