Frequently Asked Questions
-
1.What is histopathology used for?
Histopathology is used to examine tissue samples under a microscope to diagnose diseases, particularly cancers, infections, and inflammatory conditions, and to assess disease progression and treatment response.
-
2.How is histopathology performed?
Tissue samples are collected through biopsies, then processed, sliced into thin sections, and stained. These sections are examined under a microscope to identify abnormal cells or tissues.
-
3.Are histopathology tests painful?
Histopathology itself is not painful, as it involves analyzing tissue samples collected via biopsy, which may cause mild discomfort depending on the procedure used for sample collection.
-
4.How long do histopathology test results take?
Histopathology results can take several days to a week, depending on the complexity of the tissue sample and the need for special stains or tests to confirm diagnoses.
