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.

I had my procedure just over a week ago (February 2022): A laparoscopic hysterectomy with sentinel loading biopsy. My biopsy came back clean and I don't have any traces of cancer in my cervix. I'm amazed that after a day, or really the same day, I can get out of bed and walk around, and go to the bathroom by myself, and shower myself, and do all the normal things; that I came to another country and to have been able to walk around the city and shop and go to restaurants and climb a castle within a few days of my surgery, I probably did a little too much, but I was able to do it and so it's really a miracle that it was able to receive this type of surgery with those types of results.

At the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011 I was treated by Dr. Lucas Minig, I had endometrial cancer and I spent intermittent seasons at the Sanchinarro Hospital in Madrid, during my stay at said center there was not a single day that he did not visit me. His humane treatment was exquisite and I have no doubt that he contributed greatly to my total recovery.
