Histopathology is a branch of pathology that involves examining tissues under a microscope to diagnose diseases and understand changes in cells and tissues caused by injury, infection, or cancer.

Histopathology tests are done to identify abnormalities in tissues, confirm diagnoses such as cancer, inflammation or infection, and help determine the best treatment approach.

Histopathology analyses tissue samples that are typically obtained through biopsies, surgical excisions, or other medical procedures, and then processed and examined by a pathologist.

During histopathology, a tissue sample is preserved, sliced into very thin sections, stained with special dyes, and examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells or tissue structures.

Histopathology is recommended when a healthcare provider suspects cancer, chronic inflammation, infection, or other tissue changes that cannot be diagnosed through imaging or blood tests alone.

The microscopic analysis itself is painless, but tissue samples are usually obtained through procedures like biopsies, which may involve local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort.

Results from a histopathology examination typically take a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the case and whether special staining or additional analysis is required.

Histopathology is considered a highly accurate diagnostic method because it allows direct visualisation of cells and tissue structures, helping pathologists make precise diagnoses when performed by trained professionals.

Preparation for histopathology depends on how the tissue sample is obtained (e.g., biopsy). Your healthcare provider will give specific instructions based on the procedure.

Yes — histopathology is one of the primary methods for diagnosing cancer, determining the cancer type, and grading how aggressive it might be.
