Onco Pathology
Precision Diagnosis for Personalised Cancer Care
At Thangam Hospital, our Onco Pathology department plays a critical role in the accurate diagnosis, grading, and staging of cancers. As a highly specialized branch of pathology, onco pathology uses advanced techniques to identify cancerous cells and determine their behavior—forming the foundation for every personalised treatment plan we design.
What is Onco Pathology?
Onco Pathology focuses on detecting and characterising cancers through an extensive range of laboratory tests. This includes:
Tissue Histopathology
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Molecular Diagnostics
Genetic and Biomarker Testing
These investigations help determine not just the presence of malignancy, but also the type, grade, and stage of cancer—crucial information needed to decide the most effective treatment approach.
Why It Matters in Modern Cancer Treatment
Today’s oncology care is moving towards precision medicine, where cancer treatments are tailored to the individual’s genetic and molecular profile. Onco- pathology enables this by identifying key mutations, receptors, and markers that guide targeted therapies, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy protocols.
