Histology
Our specialized pathologists use biopsies and surgical specimens for histological examination to identify tissue abnormalities. This analysis aids with identification and diagnosis of tissue-related diseases.
Histology tests are primarily used to detect, diagnose, and determine prognosis of cancer. Other detection includes: Viral infections, Inflammation due to tissue injury, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Scleroderma, Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), Churg-Strauss syndrome, Microscopic polyangiitis., Polymyositis/dermatomyositis, Marfan syndrome, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Goodpasture’s syndrome, Myasthenia gravis, Pemphigus, Diabetes – type I, Systemic lupus erythematosus
Cytology
We perform cytology tests to identify abnormalities in cell structure. This analysis aids with identification and diagnosis of diseases.
Cytology tests may be used for diagnosis or for screening: A diagnostic test is only used for people who have signs, symptoms, or some other reason to suspect that they might have a particular disease (like cancer). A diagnostic test finds out if a disease is present and, if so, it precisely and accurately classifies the disease.
A screening test is used to find people who might have a certain disease even before they develop symptoms. A screening test is expected to find nearly all people who are likely to have the disease, but a screening test doesn’t always prove that the disease is present.
Cytology tests are primarily used to detect an array of cancers including: Cervical cancer, Bladder cancer, Lung cancer, Breast cancer
