We refer core biopsies, surgical specimens for histological examination to highly specialized Consultant Pathologists. We also refer all types of biological fluids, fine needle aspirates and Pap tests for cytology.
These Pathologists use a broad range of specialized techniques in addition to the routine descriptive morphological examination. The techniques consist of special stains, enzymatic histochemistry and immunohistochemical stains that detect the expression of several antigens on the tissue for example ER, PR and HER-2 and others.
These aid in the diagnosis of the disease but also provide prognostic and therapeutic indicators.
