    What does a pathology lab do?

    It analyzes tissue and cells removed from the body, such as biopsies, moles, surgical specimens or cytology samples. A pathologist examines them under a microscope and issues a diagnosis, for example whether a lesion is benign or malignant.

    Why is it so important?

    It is the test that confirms most cancer diagnoses and defines the tumor type and how aggressive it is. With additional studies such as immunohistochemistry, it also helps guide treatment.

    How long do results take?

    A simple biopsy usually takes 5 to 10 business days. Cases that need special studies can take longer. Your treating doctor takes the sample, and the pathology lab processes it.

    Can you get a second opinion?

    Yes. You can request the slides and tissue blocks from the lab so another pathologist can review them, which is common in complex or cancer diagnoses.
