FAQ's

A biopsy is a medical procedure that involves extracting a small portion of suspicious tissue to determine whether it is benign or malignant. A pathologist will subject the extracted tissue to certain tests, including observing it under a microscope. Further tests are made by a pathologist to confirm whether the tissue is malignant. Pathologists help in identifying the following:

  • The stage of cancer
  • The grade of cancer
  • Whether the mass is invasive or non-invasive
  • Extent of the disease/malignancy 
  • If tumour markers or hormone receptors are present in cancerous tissue.

Microbiologists employ several molecular techniques in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in patients by detecting the genetic material of the pathogens, some of which include:

  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
  • Nucleic acid sequencing
  • Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • Reverse dot-blot hybridisation 
  • Blotting techniques

Pathologists observe abnormalities in the tissue by observing them under the microscope. They might often use stains for histopathological studies, such as haemotoxylin and eosin (H&E stain), which help in determining the pattern, structure, and shape of the cells in tissue samples. An array of special stains and immunohistochemical stains depending on their specific diagnostic needs and the characteristics of the tissue being examined Moreover, pathologists usually whole process on particular tissues, such as the liver or skin, for microscopic analysis. For large specimens like bowel or breast samples, relevant and appropriate sections are selected for examination under the microscope.

Cytology involves examining single cells and groups of cells found in fluid samples. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is used in the diagnosis of cancer and involves a thin, hollow needle attached to a syringe to extract a small amount of fluid or tissue in the area that is suspicious of cancer, such as pleural fluid from the lung and ascitic fluid from the abdominal region. Slides are prepared and the cells are then observed under a microscope to identify abnormalities present in the cell. While FNAC helps in the diagnosis of cancer, it is often not used as a sole diagnostic tool. Further tests are usually suggested to confirm the cancer diagnosis.

The body’s immune system produces antibodies in response to a foreign microorganism, such as bacteria or viruses. Serology tests examine a blood sample to detect antibodies or other foreign substances, thus determining the exposure to infections with viruses or other infectious agents and helping in diagnosing various autoimmune disorders and immunodeficiency disorders. The process usually involves taking a blood sample from an individual’s arm or vein and collecting it in a test tube or vial. If the results point to the presence of autoantibodies, it may confirm the diagnosis of autoimmune disease.

Common laboratory tests such as full blood count, including white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), platelet count, partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and others, are initially conducted. Any deviation in the results may prompt further recommendations for advanced haematological testing, such as immunophenotyping tests, which involve flow cytometry, FISH tests, platelet function tests, and other molecular testing, to further characterise and classify haematological disorders. A Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy may be carried out to confirm the diagnosis of anaemia or leukaemia. Based on the findings, pathologists assist specialists in devising appropriate treatment plans tailored to the patient's condition and monitoring the response over time.

Your doctor will advise you to fast overnight for laboratory tests, such as fasting glucose, free fatty acids, lipids, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, bile acids, C-peptide, gastrin, and so forth. Your specialist will provide instructions regarding the fasting start time, abstaining from consuming tea or coffee, and refraining from smoking.
