Pathological Anatomy
It focuses on studying the causes, progression, and consequences of diseases through the accurate diagnosis of biopsies, surgical specimens, and cytology samples.
Pathology is a medical specialty that enables the diagnosis of diseases through the analysis of tissues and cells, helping to identify abnormalities and support appropriate treatment.
Tests such as biopsies, cytology, intraoperative examinations, and specialized histopathological analyses are performed as medically indicated.
These tests help confirm diagnoses, classify diseases, and monitor the progression of a condition, making them essential for determining the most appropriate treatment.
The tests are performed by physicians specializing in pathological anatomy and trained technical staff, in accordance with strict quality and control protocols.
A pathological anatomy study is ordered when it is necessary to confirm or rule out a disease, evaluate a lesion, or monitor treatment, always based on a medical assessment.
