Pathology Services:
Diagnosis: Pathologists examine samples collected from patients, such as biopsies, blood, urine, and other body fluids, to identify diseases or abnormalities. They use various techniques, including microscopy, molecular analysis, and immunohistochemistry, to detect changes at the cellular and molecular levels.
Disease Classification: Pathologists classify diseases based on their characteristics, such as the type of cells involved, their behavior, and the extent of tissue damage. This classification is essential for appropriate treatment planning.
Cancer Diagnosis and Staging: Pathology plays a critical role in cancer diagnosis, determining the type of cancer, its aggressiveness, and the stage of the disease. This information guides oncologists in selecting the most effective treatment options.
