Pathologist
Who is and what does a pathologist do?
The pathologist is a doctor who specializes in pathological anatomy. Pathologists are responsible for carrying out a histological study of lesions in the human body after having been previously removed. The types of tissue samples analyzed by pathologists include: cytologies, biopsies, surgical specimens of different sizes, and even medical autopsies. In the latter case, the objective is to try to find the injuries that caused the death.
Appropriate study by the pathologist results in a histologic diagnosis; which serves the treating physician to indicate a specific treatment if necessary according to each diagnosis.
What are the tools used by pathologists to make diagnoses?
The main working element is the optical microscope. Thus, all the samples received in the pathology laboratory are processed until they are converted into a group of cells on a glass (slide) that is stained with specific dyes. This allows adequate visualization under the microscope by the pathologist so that he can determine all the characteristics of the different cells analyzed.
Additionally, pathologists can use more specific techniques including immunohistochemical stains, immunofluorescence, molecular biology techniques, and electron microscopy.
In short, although patients do not see and often do not know the pathologist, they play an important role in the diagnosis and guidance for the treatment of lesions.
