The Department of Pathology provides diagnosis for cytology and tissue biopsy that are essential to patient treatment. The Department of Pathology provides accurate final diagnosis through various testing on biopsied tissue and cell samples. The cells of a patient’s tissue and fluid sample are examined through a microscope to make a diagnosis and in case a patient’s diagnosis is cancer, the Department of Pathology decides the stage of the cancer and provides information that helps the clinical doctor to establish a treatment plan and decide the patient’s prognosis. Pathology is a core field of basic medicine and it has an important function as a clinical specialty in a hospital that provides the final diagnosis.
