Activities

  • Histology and Cytology
  • Histological diagnostics on tissues or organs removed surgically or by means of biopsy, or by tru-cut  needle biopsy (under clinical or instrumental guidance)
  • Cytological diagnostics of fine-needle aspirates (under clinical or instrumental guidance), effusions, strips, liquor, urine, broncho-aspirate, expectorate and hollow organ brushing
  • Routine intraoperative diagnostics
  • Diagnostic consulting:
  • Complex cases regarding the following pathologies: mammary, cutaneous, soft tissues, head and neck, lung,  genito-urinary system, gastrointestinal tract, onco-haematology and cytology.
  • CUP (Cancer of Unknown Primary): determination of the organ/tissue of origin in the neoplasms of unknown primary
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemical diagnostic investigation and determination of prognostic-predictive markers associated with neoplastic pathology.
  • Classical and molecular cytogenetics

Onco-haematological pathologies: chromosomicanalysis for the research of chromosomic aberrations associated with leukemia/lymphomas and more detailed investigation with the FISH technique.

Solid tumours: FISH in interphase on cytological samples and on histological sections as diagnostic support to classical morphological investigation and to prognostic and predictive significance.

Molecular Biology

Diagnostic-molecular analysis: research into genetic alterations with prognostic-predictive significance; “ molecular identikit” of  tumours for targeted therapy.

Constitutional genetic and molecular analysis: Hereditary polyposis syndromes and screening for Lynch Syndrome

HPV genotyping analysis: HPV-related cervico-vaginal pathologies and of the head-neck area.
