Diagnostic ServicesThe horizons of surgical pathology have been expanding in recent years with the explosion of information about the cellular and molecular bases of disease and the development of many new technologies that can be applied to tissue analysis. While the hematoxylin and eosin-stained section will likely retain its central importance in pathologic diagnosis in the foreseeable future, ancillary techniques that can be applied to fresh, frozen or formalin-fixed tissue will continue to have a dramatic impact on diagnostic surgical pathology. These techniques, which include immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and DNA- and RNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, will play an increasingly important role in the treatment of patients with targeted therapies. The pathologists and technologists at PhenoPath Laboratories are at the forefront of applying these technologies to surgical pathology specimens. PhenoPath Laboratories can work with you to meet nearly all of your ancillary surgical pathology testing needs, or simply complement the studies you perform, while providing a level of personalized service not possible in larger commercial reference laboratories. |
