ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS CONTAINED IN THE OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT

When tissue is removed from the body during a biopsy or surgery, it is studied closely. The results of the examination by a medical doctor known as a Pathologist are summarized in a document known as a Pathology Report. In fact, there may be several reports about the same tissue because some tests take longer than others.  

As a general matter, a pathology report includes information about the patient, a description of how cells look under the microscope, and a diagnosis. 

Pathology reports are used to help make treatment decisions.

Consider getting a second opinion about the pathologist's findings.

NOTE: It is advisable to keep a copy of your medical records, including a copy of every pathology report. Experience shows that the amount of work involved in keeping your own copy is well worth the effort.
