What Is Medical Pathology?

Medical pathology is the medical specialty that examines cellular and tissue changes causing diseases in order to establish accurate diagnoses. Tissue and cell samples obtained through surgery, biopsy, or interventional procedures are analyzed in laboratory settings to identify diseases.
