Clinico-pathological correlation

Clinico-pathological correlation is the process of linking what doctors observe in a patient's symptoms and physical examination with the findings seen under the microscope in tissue or blood tests. This approach helps to accurately diagnose diseases by matching clinical signs with specific pathological features. It ensures that treatment is based on a comprehensive understanding of both how the disease presents and how it affects the body at a cellular or tissue level, leading to more accurate diagnoses and effective management.
