Histopathology & Cytopathology

Description

Histopathology is the study of the signs of the disease using the microscopic examination of a biopsy or surgical specimen that is processed and fixed onto glass slides. To visualize different components of the tissue under a microscope, the sections are dyed with one or more stains.

Histopathologists are responsible for making tissue diagnoses and helping clinicians manage a patient’s care. Histopathologists provide a diagnostic service for cancer; they handle the cells and tissues removed from suspicious ‘lumps and bumps’, identify the nature of the abnormality and, if malignant, provide information to the clinician about the type of cancer, its grade and, for some cancers, its responsiveness to certain treatments.The Histopathology department is strengthened by a highly experienced and skilled doctor. A committed and honest team of exceptionally trained technical staff also supports the division. The histopathology reports at Goalbert Diagnostics are of best standards, and come at an affordable price tag. The department also accepts samples from sources outside our diagnostics. The laboratory ensures a short turnaround time. Quick processing and reporting is done for critical cases.

Cytology is the study of cells for the primary purpose of detecting cancer. A range of normal, benign, dysplastic, and malignant cells and some infectious diseases are diagnosed. It is an adjacent to biopsy.
