What is pathological analysis?

Pathological analysis refers to the examination of tissues, organs, or bodily fluids to identify diseases, particularly through microscopic examination. It is a critical component of medical diagnostics, often involving the study of biopsies or surgical specimens to determine the presence and nature of disease processes, such as cancer or infections. This analysis helps guide treatment decisions and monitor disease progression. Pathologists utilize various techniques, including histology and immunohistochemistry, to provide accurate diagnoses.
