What are some clinical applications of understanding hormonal influences in histology?
Understanding hormonal influences has several clinical applications:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Knowledge of hormone effects on tissues helps in designing effective HRT protocols. Cancer Treatment: Hormone receptor status in tumors, such as breast cancer, guides treatment strategies like anti-estrogen therapy. Endocrine Disorders: Histological examination can help diagnose and manage conditions like hyperthyroidism, Addison's disease, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
