Oncopathology
Surgical margins of excisional biopsies (suspected or confirmed neoplasms) are inked during gross evaluation and prior to sectioning. for clarification of surgical margins.
We will assign numerical grades to tumors where there is an established and clinically relevant grading system. In other instances, malignancies will be evaluated as low or high grade on the basis of more general features such as mitotic index, degree of anaplasia, and evidence of invasiveness.
Ancillary diagnostics such as immunohistochemistry may be recommended in some cases.
