Pathology laboratories – the basis for every diagnosis

Various specialized laboratories work together in pathology to ensure that an accurate diagnosis can be made. Each laboratory has a specific task in the sample examination process:

• Macroscopy: examination and cutting of tissue samples
• Histology: preparation for examination under the microscope by creating tissue sections
• Immunohistochemistry: Making proteins visible, identifying biomarkers
• Cytology: Analysis of individual cells from fluids and punctures (smears), PAP
• Molecular pathology: Examination of genetic changes using methods such as next-generation sequencing (NGS)
