What do Anatomic Pathology Physicians do?
Anatomic pathologists diagnose diseases by microscopically examining tissues, cells, and whole organs to identify structural changes and abnormalities.
They perform surgical pathology on biopsy and resected tissue specimens, cytopathology on individual cells, and autopsy pathology to understand disease progression in deceased individuals.
Their diagnoses are crucial for determining the specific disease, guiding treatment, and assessing disease extent, often informing personalized medicine approaches for patients.
What they do
Evaluate tissues and cells: Pathologists use microscopes to examine cells and tissues from various parts of the body, looking for signs of disease.
Diagnose diseases: They provide definitive diagnoses for various conditions, including multiple types of cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases.
Utilize different methods
Surgical pathology involves examining surgical specimens and biopsies to establish a diagnosis.
Cytopathology focuses on the examination of cells, often obtained through less invasive methods, such as fine-needle aspiration or scraping.
Molecular pathology: This technique analyzes tissues at a molecular level to identify specific mutations and guide targeted therapies.
Autopsy pathology: Pathologists perform autopsies to understand how diseases affected a patient and to explain the cause of death.
Provide expert consultation: They serve as consultants to other physicians, assisting with the interpretation of pathology reports and answering complex diagnostic questions.
Develop new tests: Pathologists also contribute to developing new laboratory tests for tissues and fluids to enhance diagnostic capabilities.
Why their work is important
Ensuring quality of care: They work to provide accurate diagnoses and communicate them promptly to physicians, ensuring high-quality patient care.
Foundation for treatment: Anatomic pathology diagnoses form the basis for effective patient therapy and management.
Personalized medicine: By identifying specific mutations in tissues, pathologists enable treatments tailored to a patient’s unique genetic characteristics.
Understanding disease: Their work contributes to a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms for patients and the broader medical community.
