Microscopic genetic analysis of a tumor involves examining your tumor's genes under a microscope. This helps identify specific genetic changes in the tumor cells. This information can aid in diagnosing, predicting disease progression, and determining the most effective treatment options.

This procedure involves the use of specially stained slides to examine tissue samples. The initial process involves obtaining a small tissue sample from your body. This sample is then placed on a slide and stained with special dyes to highlight different structures and elements. The stained slide is then examined under a microscope to help diagnose any potential health issues.

A surgical pathology consultation involves reviewing slides prepared at a different lab to confirm or clarify a diagnosis. It's a second opinion to ensure accuracy. A report with findings and interpretations is then provided for your doctor's reference.

Flow cytometry is a method used to measure and analyze cells. It uses a beam of light to detect up to 16 or more markers on cells, helping to identify their type, function, or abnormalities. This technique aids in diagnosing various health conditions.
