Why histopathology test is done?
Histopathology is the examination of biological tissues in order to observe the
appearance of diseased cells in microscopic detail. Histopathology typically
involves a biopsy, which is a procedure involving taking a small sample of tissue,
usually undertaken by a pathologist, who are experts in diagnoses of diseases.
What is the difference between biopsy and histopathology?
Histopathology refers to the examination of a biopsy or surgical specimen by a
pathologist, after the specimen has been processed and histological sections have
been placed onto glass slides. In contrast, cytopathology examines free cells or
tissue micro-fragments
What is Cytopathology?
Cytopathology is a diagnostic technique that examines cells from various body
sites to determine the cause or the nature of disease.
What is a Cytopathology test?
Cytology is the examination of cells from the body under a microscope. The test
commonly checks for infection, inflammatory disease of the urinary tract, cancer,
or precancerous conditions.
What is immunohistochemistry test?
IHC test is a special staining process performed on fresh or frozen breast cancer
tissue removed during biopsy. IHC is used to show whether or not the cancer cells
have HER2 receptors and/or hormone receptors on their surface.
What is immunofluorescence used for?
Immunofluorescence can be used on tissue sections, cultured cell lines, or
individual cells, and may be used to analyze the distribution of proteins, glycans,
and small biological and non-biological molecules. This technique can even be
used to visualize structures such as intermediate-sized filaments.
