Anatomopathology refers to the anatomopathological examination performed on tissue fragments obtained through biopsy or surgery.
In this examination, a pathologist performs a pathological analysis, which allows an evaluation of the tissue and cells found in the collected material, usually using a microscope.
In oncology, the anatomopathological examination also provides other important information, such as the type of tumor and its degree of malignancy.
See below some fundamental exams that help in the identification of the disease:
1.Biopsy: It is the removal of a small amount of tissue to be analyzed from some region of the body, such as the skin, or from an internal organ, a tumor, among others.
2.Cytology: It is the analysis of loose cells or groups of cells with the aim of understanding their functioning or detecting abnormalities. Such as the Pap smear for cervical cancer.
3.Lymphatic tissue examination: For the identification of signs of diseases such as lymphomas or other conditions that affect the lymph nodes.
4.Solid organ examination: Liver, kidney, lung, heart, for the diagnosis of diseases such as cirrhosis, cancer, among others.
5.Skin lesion examination: It is performed to identify skin cancers or other dermatological conditions.
6.Cancer diagnostic exams: Evaluation of tumors to determine the specific type and stage of the disease.
