Pathology is the medical specialty focused on the study and diagnosis of diseases through the examination of organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and whole bodies (autopsies). It bridges clinical practice with the biological sciences, playing a critical role in disease diagnosis, staging, and management through microscopic analysis of tissue samples. Pathologists analyze samples in the laboratory to detect abnormalities that indicate disease. There are two main branches in pathology: anatomic pathology, which involves examining bodily structures and tissues, and clinical pathology, which focuses on the analysis of blood, urine, and other bodily fluids. This field is essential for identifying the causes of diseases, understanding their mechanisms, and providing vital information that guides treatment decisions in medical practice. Advanced techniques such as molecular pathology and immunology are also employed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies.
