Histopathology

What is Histopathology

Histopathology is the study of diseased tissues under a microscope to diagnose and understand diseases. It involves examining biopsies or surgical specimens to detect abnormalities, such as:

  • Cancer: Identifying tumor types and stages.
  • Inflammatory Diseases: Assessing conditions like autoimmune disorders.
  • Infections: Detecting tissue damage caused by pathogens.

Histopathology plays a critical role in guiding treatment decisions and advancing medical research.
