What is a pathologist?
A pathologist is a medical doctor with specialty training in the examination and diagnosis of cells and tissues under the microscope that have been removed from the body by various types of biopsy procedures or by laboratory methods such as chemical analyses. Based on detailed characteristics of the cells, a tumor is diagnosed as either benign or malignant. The pathologist also evaluates the type (classification) and grade (aggressiveness) of the tumor.
