biopsy assessment criteria

Biopsy assessment involves examining a tissue sample under a microscope to determine if it's normal or shows disease, such as cancer. Pathologists evaluate factors like cell shape, size, organization, and how quickly cells are dividing. They also look for abnormal features, the presence of inflammation, and whether the cells appear invasive. This information helps determine the nature of the condition, its severity, and the most appropriate treatment options. The goal is to provide an accurate diagnosis by carefully analyzing the tissue's microscopic appearance and cell behavior.
