Why is pathology so important for cancer treatment?

Pathology deals with pathological changes in cells and tissues and their causes. It forms the basis for a precise cancer diagnosis.

In pathology, the following are used:

• Tissue samples examined under a microscope
• Tumor types classified precisely
• Biological properties of the tumor determined

This information is crucial for:

• Choosing the optimal therapy
• Prognosis assessment
• Individualized, modern treatment strategies
