Pathology of liver tumours
Histopathological assessment of liver tissue is essential for the management of patients with a whole range of liver tumours. Biopsies are often helpful in establishing the initial diagnosis of a lesion. Intraoperative frozen sections can provide the surgeon with valuable information regarding the nature of a liver lesion and/or the clearance of surgical margins. Examination of tissue from resection and transplant operations is important in confirming the preoperative diagnosis and for providing additional prognostic information.
