WHAT ARE HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS?
Histopathological examinations in clinical oncology include various approaches for microscopic observation and analysis of tissues of tumor origin obtained by biopsy or other surgical intervention. Pathology reports play an important role in the diagnosis and staging of cancer and help to select treatment options.
WHY AND WHEN IS A SECOND OPINION NECESSARY?
Due to the specificity of the analyses, histopathological examinations are based on visual observations and strongly depend on the subjective assessment of the pathologists. This is the reason for the all too frequent errors in this field and the subsequent misdiagnoses. Specialists recommend referring to a second pathologist to confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan, as a possible error may affect the choice of treatment.
A SECOND OPINION FROM THE RENOWNED GERMAN INSTITUTE OF PATHOLOGY
NM Genomics can provide a histopathological examination for a second opinion on a histopathological assessment. The study is performed at the Institute of Clinical Pathology in Bayreuth, Germany by the team of Prof. Dr. Michael Fiet.
