Service Providers for Histopathology Small
Histopathology is the microscopic examination of tissues to study the manifestations of disease. A small histopathology procedure typically involves taking a biopsy—a small sample of tissue—from a targeted area. This sample is fixed in a preservative, embedded in paraffin, sliced into thin sections, and stained for microscopic analysis by a pathologist. The procedure is used to diagnose conditions like cancers, infections, and inflammatory diseases. Preparation includes stopping certain medications if advised. Risks are minimal but may include minor bleeding or infection at the biopsy site. Results identify cellular abnormalities or disease, aiding in treatment decisions. Tissue quality and handling can impact accuracy.
