PATHOLOGY IN ACTION:
PATHOLOGY CASE STUDIES
HOW PATHOLOGISTS HANDLE TUMOUR RESECTIONS
In this section, you will see how real life cases are handled in the pathology lab. You will see how surgical or anatomical pathologists work together within the multidisciplinary team that manages patients.
The pathologist's role lies in making the diagnosis on tissue samples, as well as in providing important information for the managing team.
These real life cases provide a realistic glimpse into the pathologist's work, from examining and sampling resected specimen to microscopic examination, and the writing of the pathology report.
The pathology report provides important prognostic and treatment-related information which guides the managing team in predicting tumour behaviour and response to treatment.
Warning: Some of the pictures and videos are quite graphic as they are actual representations of cases.
