What are the Common Methods Used in Initial Screening?
Several methods are employed in initial screening, including:
- Histopathology: Examining stained tissue sections under a microscope to identify cellular and structural abnormalities. - Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Using antibodies to detect specific antigens in the tissue, helping identify certain types of cells and diseases. - Frozen Sections: Quickly freezing the tissue and cutting thin sections for rapid examination, often used during surgeries to make immediate decisions.
