What Techniques are Used in Pathological Evaluation?
Several techniques are employed during pathological evaluation, including:
Histopathology: Examination of tissue sections stained with dyes to highlight different structures. Cytology: Study of individual cells or small clusters of cells. Immunohistochemistry: Use of antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissues, helping to classify cancer types. Molecular Pathology: Analysis of genetic mutations and molecular markers that may influence prognosis and treatment.
