What Role Does Histology Play in Postoperative Management?
Postoperative histological analysis helps in staging diseases, particularly cancers, which is crucial for determining the next steps in treatment. For example, the histological grading of a tumor can indicate how aggressive the cancer is, guiding the need for adjunctive therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation. Furthermore, histological findings can help in predicting potential complications and planning appropriate follow-up care.
