What are the Limitations of Histopathological Examination?
While histopathology is a powerful diagnostic tool, it has limitations:
Sampling Error: The quality of the sample and its representativeness can affect the accuracy of the diagnosis. Subjectivity: Interpretation of results can vary between pathologists, though consensus and additional testing can mitigate this. Time-Consuming: The process from sample collection to diagnosis can be lengthy, though rapid techniques are being developed.
