Histopathology

Histopathology involves diagnosing and studying diseases of tissues by examining them under a microscope. Using advanced imaging techniques, biopsy samples can be obtained from hard-to-reach sites, such as the pancreas or retroperitoneum (the area behind the abdominal lining). The tissue is typically processed overnight before microscopic examination, although special techniques can allow for immediate analysis in certain cases.

CANCER DIAGNOSIS

Histopathologists offer crucial diagnostic services for cancer by examining cells and tissues removed from suspicious growths. They identify the nature of any abnormalities and, if a malignancy is detected, provide the clinician with detailed information about the cancer type, its grade, and, for certain cancers, its responsiveness to specific treatments.

Histopathology is the lens through which we view the hidden intricacies of disease. At Aspire Lahore Lab, we uncover the true nature of your condition with precision and expertise, guiding you towards informed and effective treatment!

Lab Report Writing – an Introduction

With the rapid advancements in molecular pathology, histopathologists are at the forefront of utilizing techniques like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze genetic material in tissues or tumors, which is crucial for managing many cancers. Additionally, histopathologists examine cells in smears, aspirates, or bodily fluids (cytopathology), such as urine or cervical smears. Other specialized areas within histopathology include forensic pathology, neuropathology, and pediatric pathology.

Histopathology is the study and diagnosis of diseases through the examination of tissue samples under a microscope. It involves analyzing biopsy specimens to identify abnormalities and diagnose various conditions, including cancers.

Tissue samples are typically obtained through biopsies, which can be performed on various sites of the body, including accessible and inaccessible areas like the pancreas or retroperitoneum. The biopsy tissue is then processed and examined under a microscope.

Once a tissue sample is obtained, it is processed—usually overnight—to prepare it for microscopic examination. In some cases, special techniques allow for immediate analysis. The processed tissue is then examined to identify any abnormalities or diseases.

Histopathologists use a variety of techniques, including fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to analyze genetic material in tissues or tumors. These techniques help in the diagnosis and management of many cancers.
