Histopathology
Diagnostic modality involving microscopic examination of tissues obtained as biopsies or post operative specimen. Histopathology diagnosis facilitates the clinician to formulate an effective treatment plan for the patient. The team consists of experienced Histopathologists and well trained histotechnicians.
Areas of expertise:
1) Oncopathology and non-neoplastic specimens.
2) Core and endoscopic biopsies.
3) Frozen section.
4) Immunohistochemistry.
5) Cytology. (Gynaec and Non-Gynaecologic).
Services:
1) Neoplastic (Oncopathology) & Non-neoplastic reporting.
2) Special stains.
3) Frozen section.
4) Immunohistochemistry.
5) Core and Endoscopic guided biopsies (eg from prostate, breast, bronchial biopsies, G1 biopsies etc).
Cytology:
1) Fine needle aspiration cytology (Procedure and reporting).
2) Liquid based cytology (LBC) for PAP smears.
3) Fluid and effusion cytology.
4) Cell block.
5) IHC.
