Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Working closely with clinicians to provide a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition, considering both histological findings and clinical context. 3. Patient Communication: Clearly communicating the implications of histological findings to both clinicians and patients, helping them make informed decisions.
