-
Histopathological diagnosis 17,885
-
Immunohistochemistry 10,403
-
Cytology 12,542

Electron microscope 130
-
Rapid diagnosis during surgery 803
-
ISH 2,352
-
Pathological autopsy 22
In addition to macroscopic observation and microscopic observation of hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides, we also use immunohistochemistry (IHC) to examine the expression of various tumor markers, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to examine the presence or absence of genetic alterations or gene amplification for pathological diagnosis. We also perform gene panel testing using pathological specimens.
We regularly hold conferences with various clinical departments and expert panel meetings for gene panel testing (Gastroenterology, Nephrology, Department of Renal Endocrinology and Metabolism, Hematology-oncology and Breast Surgery, Gastroenterology, Gastroenterological Surgery, Gynecology, Nephrology and Urology, Head and Neck Tumor Center, Oral Surgery, Respiratory Medicine, Thoracic Surgery, etc.)
