Poor handling of tissue samples can lead to numerous issues, such as: - Artifacts: Artificial structures that appear due to improper processing or sectioning, which can be mistaken for pathological findings. - Misdiagnosis: Inaccurate histological results can lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment plans. - Wasted Resources: Poor handling may necessitate repeat procedures, wasting time and materials. - Ethical Concerns: Inaccurate results due to poor handling can affect patient outcomes and undermine trust in medical practices.
