Pathology
The Pathology department plays a critical role in diagnosing diseases, guiding treatment decisions, and advancing medical knowledge through research.
Our team of highly skilled pathologists, laboratory technicians, and researchers provides comprehensive diagnostic services across a wide range of medical specialties.
We are committed to delivering accurate, timely, and reliable results that support the highest standards of patient care, using the latest technologies and methodologies in the field of pathology.
Comprehensive Pathology Services
Our Pathology department offers a wide range of diagnostic services to support the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions:
• Anatomic Pathology:
Examination of tissue samples, including biopsies and surgical specimens, to diagnose diseases such as cancer, inflammatory conditions, and infections.
Our pathologists use advanced techniques such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and molecular pathology to provide precise and accurate diagnoses.
• Clinical Pathology:
Analysis of blood, urine, and other body fluids to detect and monitor diseases, including hematologic disorders, metabolic diseases, and infections.
Our clinical pathology services include chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, and transfusion medicine.
• Cytopathology:
Evaluation of cells obtained through fine needle aspiration (FNA), Pap smears, and other cytologic techniques to diagnose conditions such as cancers, infections, and inflammatory diseases.
Our pathologists specialize in the early detection of malignancies, particularly in the cervix, lungs, and thyroid.
• Molecular Pathology:
Advanced genetic testing and molecular diagnostics to identify genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and molecular markers associated with various diseases, including cancer and inherited disorders.
Our molecular pathology services include next-generation sequencing (NGS), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
• Hematopathology:
Specialized diagnostic services for blood-related disorders, including leukemias, lymphomas, anemias, and clotting disorders.
Our hematopathologists provide expert analysis of blood smears, bone marrow biopsies, and lymph node specimens.
• Neuropathology:
Diagnosis of diseases affecting the nervous system, including brain tumors, neurodegenerative disorders, and infectious diseases.
Our neuropathologists work closely with neurologists and neurosurgeons to provide accurate diagnoses and guide treatment decisions.
• Dermatopathology:
Expert analysis of skin biopsies to diagnose conditions such as skin cancers, inflammatory diseases, and infections.
Our dermatopathologists collaborate with dermatologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal patient care.
• Forensic Pathology:
Investigation of deaths in cases of unexplained or suspicious circumstances, providing valuable information for legal and medical purposes.
Our forensic pathologists are trained in autopsy procedures and the interpretation of injury patterns and toxicology results.
