Abstract

Pathology is a crucial component in the process of confirming a cancer diagnosis, serving as the definitive method for identifying and characterizing malignancies. This article explores the role of pathology in the diagnostic process, beginning with sample collection and continuing through histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing. Pathologists analyze tissue samples to determine cancer type, grade, and specific molecular characteristics, which are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. The article also addresses the impact of pathological findings on patient prognosis and treatment decisions, as well as current challenges and future advancements in the field, including digital pathology and artificial intelligence. By providing detailed insights into the methodologies and significance of pathology, this article underscores its indispensable role in cancer diagnosis and management.
