  3. Tissue Biopsies:
    • Histopathology: Involves examining a sample of tissue under a microscope to detect abnormalities such as cancer.
    • Cytology: Studies cells in body fluids or tissues, often used in Pap smears for cervical cancer screening.
  4. Molecular Pathology:
    • Genetic Testing: Analyzes DNA to detect genetic disorders or predispositions to certain diseases.
    • PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): Amplifies DNA sequences to diagnose infections or genetic mutations.
  5. Microbiology Tests:
    • Culture and Sensitivity: Grows bacteria from samples like throat swabs to identify infections and determine the best antibiotic treatment.
