In our December 2017 issue, we explore pathology from the patient’s perspective – what does your input mean to the people underneath the microscope? We also look at what’s new in the world of genomic sequencing, detecting and defeating pathogens, and how we can reduce overtesting. We sit down with Victor Tron, past president of the Canadian Association of Pathologists.
