Pathology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the study of diseases through the analysis of tissue and cell samples to determine their origin, nature, and characteristics.
Pathology plays a crucial role in medical diagnosis, as it enables the identification and classification of diseases through the examination of biological samples, which helps doctors make informed decisions about the appropriate treatment for each patient.
The Department of Pathology offers a wide range of services, including histopathological and cytopathological analyses, immunohistochemistry, molecular biology, forensic pathology studies, and autopsies, among others.
The sample analysis process in the pathology department begins with the receipt of the sample, followed by its processing, embedding in paraffin, sectioning into thin slides, staining, and finally microscopic examination by the pathologist.
The turnaround time for pathology test results may vary depending on the type of test and the complexity of the case. Generally, results are available within 24 to 72 hours.
