A pathologists central role is examining samples of human tissue which have been obtained in order to diagnose or treat certain diseases such as cancer (Grizzle et al., 1996). In an article by Rapidis et. al (1980), it is discussed that there is a strong association between the histological grade of a tumour (in the head and neck) and its behaviour. It also concludes that "no treatment should [therefore] be started on a patient suffering from oral cancer before the tumor's histological behaviour has been evaluated by [a] pathologist". =====
