What Does Pathology Involve?
Pathologists study:
Main Branches of Pathology
Histopathology
Examines tissue samples (like biopsy or tumour samples) under a microscope. Helps diagnose cancers, inflammation, and organ diseases.
Cytopathology
Studies individual cells (like Pap smears) to detect abnormalities or infections.
Hematology
Focuses on blood disorders, such as anemia, leukemia, or clotting issues.
Clinical Pathology
Involves testing blood, urine, sputum, and body fluids for infections, kidney/liver function, diabetes, etc.
Microbiology
Detects microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Immunology
Analyses immune system disorders and autoimmune diseases.
Molecular Pathology
Uses genetic testing to diagnose diseases at a DNA level, like some cancers or inherited disorders.
Role of Pathologists
Main Responsibilities of a Pathologist:
Diagnosing Disease:
Tissue samples (biopsies): They examine tissue under a microscope to determine if it's cancerous, inflamed, infected, etc.
Autopsies: They investigate causes of death, especially when it’s sudden or unexplained.
Cytology: They analyse cells, like in Pap smears, to detect abnormalities.
Blood tests: They interpret lab results to diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, leukemia, etc.
Guiding Treatment:
They help oncologists understand the type and stage of cancer. Their reports can determine whether a patient needs surgery, chemo, or other treatments.
Lab Management:
Many pathologists oversee clinical labs to ensure tests are accurate and done safely. They set protocols for testing and interpret complex lab data.
Specialisations within Pathology:
Anatomic Pathology: Focuses on body tissues (surgical pathology, autopsy, cytopathology).
Clinical Pathology: Focuses on lab tests on bodily fluids (hematology, microbiology, chemistry).
Research & Teaching:
Many pathologists are involved in medical research or teaching in academic hospitals.

Usually, no. Most pathologists work behind the scenes in labs. However, some (like forensic or clinical pathologists) may consult with doctors or be involved in patient-facing roles in certain settings.
Anatomic Pathology – Focuses on tissues (e.g., biopsies, autopsies).
Clinical Pathology – Involves lab tests on blood, urine, etc.
Forensic Pathology – Determines the cause of death in legal cases.
Molecular Pathology – Uses genetic techniques to study disease at the molecular level.
Absolutely. Pathologists confirm whether a tumour is cancerous, identify its type and grade.
