Track 14: Anatomical Pathology, Forensic Pathology, Autopsy Pathology

Image
Anatomical pathology is a branch of medicine that focuses on identifying diseases by examining organs and tissues under macro-, microscopic-, biochemical-, immunologic-, and molecular microscopes. Surgical pathology has changed dramatically over the past century, from the traditional examination of entire bodies (autopsy) to a more sophisticated practise focused on the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer to inform oncology treatment decision-making. Clinical pathology, which involves the diagnosis of disease through the laboratory examination of biological fluids or tissues, is the other of the two areas of pathology. Anatomical pathology is one of them. A common practise among pathologists is general pathology, which combines anatomical and clinical pathology. Distinctions between clinical pathology Anatomic pathology deals with how a doctor skilled in pathological diagnosis processes, examines, and diagnoses surgical specimens. The department that handles test requests more familiar to

It includes studies on how the pathology of an organism, a system of organs, or a disease is related to the immune system, immunity, and immunological responses. It is a phrase used in biology to describe damage caused to an organism by the organism’s own immunological response to an infection. It frequently happens when an animal pathogen infects a human and may be cause

In addition to traditional histology, a variety of specialized immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, and molecular genetic techniques are typically available for examination. In addition to providing expert diagnostic interpretation of in-house cases for Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Service provides a very significant national and international consulting service. Active educational activities include providing students, residents, and fellows

Track 11: Cancer Cytopathology

Image
What types of cytology? Cytology encompasses various specialized fields and techniques tailored to different areas of study and medical practice. Here are some common types of cytology: Diagnostic Cytology: This involves examining cells obtained from different body tissues or fluids to diagnose diseases, such as cancer, infections, or inflammatory conditions. It's often used in conjunction with histology (the study of tissues) to provide a comprehensive diagnosis. Gynecologic Cytology: This branch focuses on examining cells collected from the female reproductive system, primarily the cervix, for the early detection of cervical cancer and other abnormalities. Pap smears are a common example of gynecologic cytology used for cervical cancer screening. Non-Gynecologic Cytology: This includes the examination of cells obtained from sites other than the female reproductive system. It encompasses various body fluids and organs such as the respiratory tract (sputum cytology), thyroi

TRACK: 10 HISTOPATHOLOGY

  TRACK: 10 HISTOPATHOLOGY Histopathology is a branch of pathology that involves the examination of tissues at the microscopic level to study the changes or abnormalities associated with diseases. Pathologists, known as histopathologists, analyze tissue specimens obtained through biopsies, surgical procedures, or autopsies. The goal is to make accurate diagnoses and gain insights into the nature, extent, and progression of diseases. Key aspects of histopathology include: Microscopic Examination : Histopathologists use a microscope to study thin sections of tissues that have been processed and stained. This allows them to visualize cellular structures and identify any abnormal changes. Disease Diagnosis: The primary purpose of histopathology is to diagnose diseases based on the microscopic examination of tissues. This includes identifying conditions such as cancers, infections, inflammatory diseases, and various other pathological conditions. Tumor Grading and Staging : In th

TRACK: 9 SURGICAL PATHOLOGY

Image
Surgical pathology is a subspecialty of pathology that involves the examination of tissues and organs removed during surgery to diagnose diseases and conditions. Pathologists who specialize in surgical pathology, known as surgical pathologists, analyze specimens obtained from surgical procedures, such as biopsies, excisions, and resections. This branch of pathology plays a crucial role in providing information that helps guide patient treatment and management. Key aspects of surgical pathology include: 1.     Diagnosis: The primary focus of surgical pathology is to accurately diagnose diseases based on the examination of tissue samples. This can involve the identification of cancerous tumors, inflammatory conditions, infections, and various other abnormalities. 2.     Tumor Grading and Staging : Surgical pathologists play a vital role in cancer diagnosis and management. They assess the grade (degree of malignancy) and stage (extent of spread) of tumors, which is crucial informati

TRACK: 8 DIAGNOSTIC PATHOLOGY

Image
Diagnostic pathology is a branch of medicine that involves the examination of tissues and cells to diagnose diseases. Pathologists, who are medical doctors specializing in pathology, play a key role in this field. They analyze specimens obtained from patients through various procedures such as biopsies, surgeries, and autopsies to identify the nature and extent of diseases. The main objectives of diagnostic pathology include: 1.         D isease Diagnosis: Pathologists use various techniques, including microscopy, immunohistochemistry, molecular testing, and other laboratory methods, to examine tissues and cells. This detailed analysis helps in determining the presence, type, and characteristics of diseases. 2.         Disease Staging: In the case of cancer, diagnostic pathology is crucial for determining the stage of the disease. Staging involves assessing the extent of tumor spread, which is essential for treatment planning and prognosis. 3.         Prognosis and Treatment
