What are the Common Therapeutic Strategies Based on Histological Findings?
Therapeutic strategies often depend on the histological diagnosis. Here are some common therapies:
Surgical Intervention: When histology identifies localized disease such as a tumor, surgical removal might be the primary treatment. Chemotherapy: For cancers and some other conditions, histological examination can guide the use of chemotherapeutic agents that target specific cell types or pathways. Radiation Therapy: Used to target and kill cancerous cells identified through histological analysis. Targeted Therapy: Based on histological and molecular findings, targeted therapies can be used to inhibit specific pathways that are active in disease cells. Immunotherapy: Histological techniques can identify biomarkers for immune checkpoints, guiding the use of immunotherapy to boost the body’s own immune response against disease cells.
