Histopathology

Histopathology is the study of tissues and cells under a microscope to diagnose diseases, particularly cancer. It involves taking a sample of tissue, often through a biopsy, and preparing it for examination. Doctors analyze the structure and appearance of the cells to understand any abnormalities or diseases present. This field is crucial for providing accurate diagnoses, guiding treatment plans, and understanding the progression of diseases. Histopathology plays a vital role in medical research and the development of new therapies, contributing significantly to patient care and health outcomes.
