Pathology
The Department of Pathology at Ilsan Paik Hospital is a core diagnostic department that identifies disease mechanisms and provides precise diagnoses through tissue and cellular analysis.
Based on both basic and surgical pathology, the department plays a critical role in evaluating diseases and guiding clinical treatment decisions.
By analyzing tissues and cells, the department identifies the nature of diseases and evaluates cancer types and stages, providing essential information for treatment decisions.
In addition to conventional histopathology, various advanced diagnostic techniques are utilized to ensure faster and more precise results.
Beyond tissue and cellular analysis, molecular and immunological tests are performed to precisely understand disease characteristics.
Frozen section analysis provides real-time diagnosis during surgery, supporting immediate clinical decision-making.
Genetic and protein-level analyses enable detailed disease evaluation and support targeted and personalized treatment strategies.
The department collaborates closely with various clinical specialties to share diagnostic insights and support patient-centered integrated care.
