What Techniques in Histology Aid Active Surveillance?
Several histological techniques are pivotal in active surveillance: - [Biopsies](https://): These are small samples of tissue taken for examination. Regular biopsies can help monitor changes in the tissue over time. - [Immunohistochemistry](https://): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissues, helping to identify cancer markers. - [Digital Pathology](https://): Advances in digital pathology allow for more precise monitoring by enabling pathologists to compare current and past tissue samples accurately. - [Molecular Pathology](https://): This involves analyzing genetic markers and mutations that may indicate changes in the disease.
