In contemporary medicine, histology is indispensable for diagnosing diseases. Histopathology, the study of diseased tissues, helps in identifying the characteristic features of various conditions, from cancers to infectious diseases. Techniques like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) have furthered our ability to diagnose and understand genetic disorders at the tissue level. Personalized medicine, which tailors treatment based on individual histological and genetic profiles, is a direct beneficiary of these advancements.
