The mission of the Department is to provide accurate diagnoses and information of prognostic
and therapeutic value to clinicians. The activities of Surgical Pathology, Diagnostic Molecular
Pathology, Cytopathology, and Autopsy Pathology are carried out in the two Anatomic
Pathology Units, while laboratory tests and microbiological investigations are carried out at
the Laboratory Medicine Unit, all using state-of-the-art techniques and quality certification
(ISO9001; 2000-2015).
HIGHLIGHTS
The Department is engaged in the Institutional human frozen tumor tissue bank, a project aimed at the creation of an extensive collection of human tissues that is not restricted to a specific organ or disease type, as well as in a telepathology project involving several
Italian cancer Institutes.
Extensive pheno-genotyping and assessment of predictive and/or prognostic factors are an integral part of diagnosis and research
activities aiming at the best clinical management of patients, as well as developing diverse research in several human cancers.
