Diagnosis of diseases

Pathology, more properly called pathological anatomy, is a specialty of medicine that deals with diagnostics. Every year in our institute, tissue samples from more than 50,000 patients residing in Ticino are analyzed under the microscope. The diagnostic responsibilities of the anatomo-pathologist include typing tumors, defining the severity and stage of a disease, and identifying alterations that are essential for defining optimal and personalized therapies.

Locations
