Pathology
Various advanced laboratory techniques that conform to the CAP international quality assurance program are used at Anadolu Medical Center to analyze structural and functional defects in tissues and cells. Anadolu Medical Center’s Pathology Department provides immediate reporting of biopsy results, particularly in cancer cases, to the physician without waiting for a written report to be prepared. This minimizes the amount of time patients and their families have to wait for results. Moreover, this enables whatever treatment is needed to begin as quickly as possible. Since early tissue diagnosis can alter the course of surgery performed with certain types of tumors, our pathologists attend the surgery to obtain appropriate tissue specimens and make a precise diagnosis.
