Histopathology refers to the microscopic examination of tissue so as to check the manifestations of malady.
Histopathologists give a diagnostic service for cancer; they handle the cells and tissues far from suspicious ‘lumps and bumps’, determine the character of the abnormality and, if malignant, give info to the practitioner concerning the kind of cancer, its grade and, for a few cancers, its responsiveness to bound treatments.
Specimens received by the pathology laboratory need tissue preparation then ar treated and analysed victimization techniques applicable to the kind of tissue and also the investigation needed. For immediate diagnosing throughout a surgical operation a frozen section is performed.
