What are the histological features assessed in TRG?
Histological examination for TRG involves evaluating several key features:
- Residual tumor cell density: The proportion of surviving tumor cells. - Fibrosis: The amount of fibrotic tissue replacing the tumor. - Inflammatory response: The degree of inflammation and immune cell infiltration. - Necrosis: The presence of dead tumor cells.
These features help pathologists determine the extent to which the tumor has responded to treatment.
