What Advanced Techniques are Used in Histology for Pre-cancerous Changes?
In addition to traditional staining methods, advanced techniques are employed to enhance the detection and characterization of pre-cancerous changes:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within cells, helping to identify abnormal cellular processes. Molecular pathology: Involves the analysis of genetic and molecular alterations associated with pre-cancerous lesions. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): Detects chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations.
