What are the Applications of Histopathological Studies?
Histopathological studies have broad applications in medical science:
Cancer Diagnosis: By examining tissue biopsies, pathologists can determine the type and grade of cancer, which is critical for treatment planning. Infectious Diseases: Histopathology can identify the presence of infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi in tissues. Autoimmune Diseases: Tissue examination can reveal characteristic patterns of inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Organ Transplantation: Histopathological analysis is used to monitor for signs of rejection and infection in transplanted organs.
