A Mesothelioma pathology report contains information from the examination of malignant Mesothelioma tissue, organs, and body fluid from biopsy samples.
Pathology or the study of pathogens is the study of disease taken from tissue samples. When a physician orders an ancillary test, staff will take blood, tissue, or fluid samples to the laboratory. There, the pathologist who specializes in laboratory results can review the sample and promptly relay that information to the attending doctor.
In cases of malignant mesothelioma, a biopsy performed on the suspected cancerous tumor, removes a small amount of tissue from the body. Once this procedure occurs, tissue removed and test results are in, the laboratory will issue its findings on the tested tissues in a pathology report.
A pathologist examines tissue and fluid samples with a microscope to determine if there are any asbestos fibers and recommends Mesothelioma treatment options.
