Diseases leave characteristic "marks" of their presence in cells and tissues: pathology finds them.
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.
La Clinica di Patologia si ispira alla missione e alla politica dell’EOC e ha come mandato principale di fornire all'utenza in tempi brevi prestazioni diagnostiche di qualità nel campo della Istopatologia, Dermatopatologia, Citologia, della Patologia Genetica e Molecolare. L’attività analitica rappresenta la principale attività del mandato istituzionale, e viene svolta applicando un sistema di gestione per la qualità conforme alla norma ISO 15189, con lo scopo primario di definire, documentare e gestire i propri processi per una migliore pianificazione interna ed una maggiore sicurezza dell'utenza.
L’attività della Clinica di Patologia è anche certificata nel contesto dei Centri Oncologici Specialistici EOC (tumori del colon retto, mammella, polmone e prostata).
Pathology services are provided by the Cantonal Institute of Pathology located at Via in Selva in Locarno.
