How Does Histopathology Influence Treatment Decisions?
The detailed information provided by histopathological examination plays a critical role in treatment planning. For instance, knowing the molecular subtype of a cancer can influence the choice of targeted therapies. Moreover, the histopathological grade and stage can indicate whether a patient would benefit more from surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these treatments. Personalized treatment plans, which improve patient outcomes, are largely based on histopathological findings.
