Pathology

Histopathology & Cytopathology

The histopathology section of the laboratory provides services for routine and specialized processing of all surgical and cytological specimens. Immunohistochemical techniques are performed with automated systems, using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues, resulting in an identification of a wide range of intracellular antigens, analysis of hormone receptors, oncogenes, and assessment of predictive and prognostic markers of tumors.
The technical staff has been well trained for tissue conservation practices, delivering good quality sections, complimenting H & E with special stains.

The rapid intra-operative diagnosis and margin assessment is provided in-house by frozen section.
The cytopathology section receives body fluids, FNAC material, and exfoliative cytology, including gynaecological smears. The department uses liquid based cytology and cell block preparation for optimizing the diagnostic yield and aid in ancillary techniques. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is performed in the laboratory on superficial and palpable swellings. Image-guided cytological aspirates of deep-seated lesions as well as Pap smears are also processed. The rapid onsite screening is performed by pathologist during required guided procedures.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has evolved and expanded its use in pathology from diagnosis and classification, to predictive and prognostic utility. Our laboratory provides a wide range of these markers.
Regular clinicopathological meetings and tumour board discussions are conducted by our team of expert pathologists with the clinicians to ensure quality patient care.  Postgraduate training (DNB) in pathology is also being rendered.
