| The Pathological
Anatomy Unit forms part of the Benidorm
Clinic Hospital. This Unit does not
directly relate to the patients. It
serves as a support unit to the other
medical or surgical specialists.
Surgeons, digestion specialists, oncologists,
etc., send samples of biopsies
and cytologes
for study. Currently, given the progress
of Medicine, the integrated evaluation
of a patient carried out by a multidisciplinary
team in which each professional has
a specific weight is often necessary.
This approach is particularly important
in cancer patients.
Our objectives
Our objective is to provide
high quality in diagnosis and facilitate
the patient the latest resources currently
available with the greatest
possible speed
One of the most relevant aspects
of our work is the anatomopathological
study of tumour lesions
or lesions suspected
as malignant. Apart from the infrastructure
at our disposal, we signed a collaboration
agreement in 2004 with the National
Centre of Oncological Research (CNIO).
The CNIO is a national and international
reference centre giving support in
those studies that we need which are
not available in our facilities.
How does the processing of
samples in our Pathological Anatomy
unit work?
Once the samples arrive along
with a clinical report, they are recorded
in our laboratory. A macro and microscopic
study of samples is undertaken. Once
the diagnosis from Pathological Anatomy
is done, a report is sent to the doctor
requesting it.
