What Role Does Histology Play in Preventing Local Recurrence?
Histology plays a crucial role in preventing local recurrence:
- Margin Assessment: Histological examination of surgical margins ensures that no residual cancer cells are left behind during the initial surgery. - Tumor Typing and Grading: Accurate typing and grading of the tumor help in tailoring appropriate treatment strategies, reducing the risk of recurrence. - Follow-Up Biopsies: Regular follow-up biopsies can help in early detection of any recurrent tumor cells.
