How is the Histology of Re-Excision Specimens Analyzed?
The histology of re-excision specimens involves several steps:
Gross Examination: The specimen is visually inspected to identify areas of interest. Tissue Processing: The tissue is fixed, usually with formalin, and then embedded in paraffin. Sectioning: Thin sections are cut from the paraffin block and placed on slides. Staining: Commonly with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), to differentiate between different tissue types. Microscopic Examination: A pathologist examines the slides to determine if any abnormal cells are present.
