Pathology, derived from the ancient Greek word "pathos" (disease), is the branch of science that reveals the causes of diseases by examining diseased tissues and organs.
The first step in treating diseases is accurate and rapid diagnosis. For this reason, pathology is in close contact with many other branches of medicine.
Our physicians in the Florence Nightingale Hospitals Pathology Department, which has a fully equipped surgical pathology and cytology laboratory, actively participate and contribute to breast, lung, endocrine, liver, uro-genital system cancer and general tumor council meetings. In addition, cases are discussed in detail in councils related to cancer and non-cancerous diseases of the skin.
Our Pathology Department consists of anatomical pathology, cytology, histology, immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization subunits.
In our pathology laboratory; small biopsies from various organs such as endoscopic, laryngoscopic, bronchoscopic, prostate, breast, cervix and skin; tissues obtained by bone marrow, lymph node and radical resection are examined.
Experienced doctors, advanced technology, fast and accurate results..
In our Pathology Department; gastrointestinal endoscopic, bronchoscopic, cystoscopic, prostate tru-cat and similar small biopsies can be completed within 45 minutes. Pathological diagnosis of the material delivered to the laboratory by 12:00 can be made before 18:00 on the same day. In this way; patient stress is reduced and possible delays are prevented since it allows the treatment to be programmed on the same day.
Tissue tracking in our Pathology Department is done with modern methods. Tissue tracking, which normally takes 10-12 hours, can be completed within 3 hours, if necessary, even in the largest tissues, with the microwave methods we use.
