Our pathologists have years of experience and use state-of-the-art instruments and methods to make a diagnosis including:

•     Immunohistochemistry
•     Flow cytometry and
•     Molecular diagnostics

Findings are reported directly to your physician who will consult with your multi-disciplinary cancer care team to discuss the diagnosis and best treatment plan for you.

If your treatment includes surgical staging, the pathologist generates a complete pathology report following the latest standards established by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP).
