Скачать или смотреть Reading Your Pathology Report

You may never see your pathologist, but they see you and they care deeply about your health. After surgery, blood tests, or procedures, you may receive your pathology report online or in the mail. You can be confident in the report because the work of examining your blood or tissue was done by a pathologist, a physician specially trained in the study and diagnosis of disease. Your pathologist is part of a multidisciplinary team who work side by side with your primary care physician or surgeon to understand your unique medical situation and determine the best course of treatment.

A pathology report may not always be the easiest information to comprehend, but don't worry. On the report, you can see who reviewed your results and whether the review was conducted at an accredited laboratory by a board-certified pathologist. This is empowering information. If you have questions, ask to speak with the pathologist whose name is on the report or follow up with your primary care physician for additional insight into your results.
