What are the Challenges in Histological Diagnostics and Therapeutics?
Despite its importance, histology faces several challenges:
Sample Quality: Poorly preserved or improperly processed tissue samples can lead to inaccurate diagnoses. Interpreting Results: Requires highly trained pathologists, and even then, subjective interpretation can lead to variability in diagnoses. Technological Limitations: While advanced techniques like electron microscopy provide detailed images, they are expensive and not widely available. Integration with Other Data: Combining histological findings with other diagnostic data (e.g., genetic, clinical) remains a complex but necessary task for comprehensive patient care.
