What exactly is a multidisciplinary team – and what is the pathologist’s role in it?

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Leica Biosystems have formed a unique partnership to make a 100% digital pathology service a reality

Pathologists hold the key to diagnostic management teams – and diagnostic management teams have a lot to contribute to patient care

A new DNA test that can detect treatment-resistant mutations could prove crucial for patients with acute myeloid leukemia, providing an early indication that targeted therapeutic intervention is needed

A combination of magnetic particles that bind circulating tumor cells and a magnetic wire that samples them directly from the vein could lead to earlier diagnosis

Digital spatial profiling technology may enable researchers to identify biomarkers that indicate how patients with high-risk melanoma will respond to treatment

How combining their efforts with those of the pharmaceutical industry can help pathologists make a business case for AI

When bacteria become resistant to the last line of defense, rapid detection and treatment is more important than ever. A new assay can help with treatment selection for carbapenem-resistant infections

Liquid biopsy can help us appropriately treat patients with anti-PD-L1 immunotherapies, and ddPCR enables ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment

For better diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as drug R&D, we need to move toward widespread use of MRI biomarker imaging, even if blood screening tests become a reality
