What is the Role of Histopathology in Personalized Medicine?
Histopathology, a branch of histology focused on disease, is integral to personalized medicine. By analyzing the specific histological characteristics of a patient's tissue, clinicians can devise individualized treatment plans that are more effective and have fewer side effects. For instance, molecular histopathology can identify genetic mutations that may be targeted by specific drugs, offering a more personalized approach to treatment.
