When your doctor needs to understand what’s happening at a cellular level, they rely on specialised experts at Parkside Private Suite, within Wexham Park Hospital. We have specialists who are dedicated to examining cells and tissues to help diagnose and manage a range of conditions.
Looking at Cells: Cytopathology: Our cytopathologists focus on analysing cells collected from surfaces like your skin, lungs, digestive tract, and reproductive system. They examine samples obtained through fine needle aspirations or Pap smears, looking for any abnormalities that might indicate cancer or other diseases.
Looking at Tissues: Histopathology: Our histopathologists examine tissue samples taken through biopsies or surgical procedures. They carefully study these tissues under a microscope to diagnose diseases, determine the extent of a condition, and guide your treatment plan. This includes diagnosing cancer, inflammatory diseases, and infections in organs and tissues throughout your body.
Both cytopathology and histopathology play a crucial role in providing accurate diagnoses and guiding your care. We understand that waiting for results can be stressful, and our consultants are committed to providing timely and accurate information to your doctor.
If your doctor has recommended a cell or tissue analysis, we’re here to provide expert support. Please contact your doctor for referral to our services.
