Pathologists look for several key features when examining biopsy samples:
Cellular Architecture: The arrangement and organization of cells within the tissue. Cell Morphology: The shape, size, and appearance of individual cells. Presence of Atypical Cells: Abnormal cells that may indicate malignancy. Mitotic Activity: The rate of cell division, which can be a marker of tumor aggressiveness. Necrosis: Areas of cell death, which can indicate the extent of tissue damage.
