If your physicians suspect you have a complex disorder, advanced pathology analysis may be recommended, including:
Cytology and cytopathology, to study cell abnormalities to help diagnose cancer
Cytogenetics, to study blood or bone marrow cells to identify chromosomal changes
Histology, to study tissue samples for evidence of disease
Molecular diagnostics, to analyze DNA/RNA (biological markers) to diagnose, monitor and plan treatment for certain health conditions
Surgical pathology, to examine tissue removed during surgery or biopsy to aid in the diagnosis of disease
