Pathological study is a method of detailed study of the human body, in particular, pathological processes that have arisen, by studying changes in cells, tissues and organs. The test material is the cells obtained as a result of a biopsy or surgery, previously prepared by freezing or creating a paraffin block, cutting into the thinnest layers and staining. Pathological studies include histology and immune histochemical study.
Histology is the study of biopsy material (a sample of affected tissue) under a microscope. The method allows determining the nature of neoplasms (malignant or benign), growth rate, and treatment effectiveness.
Immune histochemical (IHC) study is a method for identifying specific antigenicity of malignant tumors. Immunohistochemical methods are used to detect the localization of one or another cellular or tissue component (antigen) in situ by binding it to labeled antibodies and are an integral part of modern cancer diagnostics, providing the detection of localization in tissues of various cells, hormones and their receptors, enzymes, immunoglobulins, cells components and specific genes.
