Pulmonary Pathology

Pulmonary Pathology studies lung tissue to evaluate presence of disease and assist in therapeutic interventions as clinically indicated. The diagnosis of inflammatory or fibrotic diseases of the lungs is considered by many pathologists to be particularly challenging. Pathologists on the administration utilize molecular science, immunohistochemistry, and ultra-structural procedures in their demonstrative workups. Pulmonary Pathology diseases cover a diverse range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders that continue to pose challenges to pathologists on a daily basis. Diagnostic samples are often obtained via bronchoscopic transbronchial biopsy, CT-guided percutaneous biopsy, or video-assisted thoracic surgery.
