About Molecular Pathology

Molecular Pathology is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed by a Pathologist that analyzes diseases at the molecular and genetic level. It involves examining DNA, RNA, proteins, and other molecules in tissue, blood, or other bodily fluid samples to identify specific genetic mutations, biomarkers, and molecular changes. This advanced technique is crucial for diagnosing various cancers, infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and autoimmune conditions with high precision. It enables personalized medicine by guiding targeted therapies, predicting disease progression, and assessing treatment response. The procedure provides critical insights that traditional pathology cannot, leading to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment plans for patients.

Key Highlights

    Provides highly precise and accurate diagnosis at the genetic level.Enables personalized medicine and targeted therapy selection.Can detect minimal residual disease and predict risk of recurrence.Helps in identifying hereditary cancer syndromes and genetic disorders.Often requires only a small tissue sample or blood draw.Essential for modern cancer classification and treatment planning./ul

Who is this surgery for?

  • Diagnosis and sub-classification of cancers (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, solid tumors).
  • Identifying specific genetic mutations for targeted therapy (e.g., EGFR in lung cancer, BRCA in breast cancer).
  • Diagnosing infectious diseases by detecting pathogen DNA/RNA (e.g., HPV, HIV, tuberculosis).
  • Evaluation of genetic disorders and inherited conditions.
  • Assessment of treatment response and detection of minimal residual disease.
  • Pharmacogenomic testing to predict drug efficacy and adverse reactions.
  • Determining prognosis and risk stratification for certain diseases.

How to prepare

  • Consultation with an oncologist, genetic counselor, or specialist to determine the need for testing.
  • Provision of a tissue sample (biopsy or surgical specimen) or a blood sample.
  • Informed consent process explaining the purpose and potential implications of the test.
  • For tissue samples, no specific patient preparation is needed as it is performed on already collected specimens.
  • For blood draws, standard preparation like fasting may or may not be required based on the specific test.
  • Providing a complete medical and family history to the pathologist.

Risks & possible complications

  • Risks are primarily associated with the sample collection procedure (e.g., biopsy or blood draw), such as bleeding, infection, or pain.
  • Potential for false-positive or false-negative results, though the techniques are highly sensitive.
  • Discovery of incidental or uncertain genetic findings with unclear clinical significance.
  • Psychological impact of learning about genetic predispositions to disease.
  • Potential issues with sample quality or quantity leading to test failure.
  • Privacy concerns related to genetic information.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Recovery is from the sample collection procedure (biopsy or venipuncture), not the molecular analysis itself.
  • For a blood draw, normal activity can typically resume immediately.
  • For a tissue biopsy, follow post-biopsy care instructions for the wound site (e.g., keeping it clean and dry).
  • Results are typically available within 7-14 days, depending on test complexity.
  • A follow-up appointment with the referring doctor is essential to discuss the results and their implications for the treatment plan.
  • No specific physical recovery is needed from the laboratory analysis phase.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (outpatient procedure for sample collection)
  • checked Expected recovery time: 0-2 days (from sample collection only)

PATIENT REVIEW

I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya...

I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya for my blood pressure and general health for about five years now. She remembers the small things from my last visit, which makes a huge difference. The clinic at MGM can get busy, but she never rushes me. I trust her completely because she explains changes in my treatment clearly and never pushes for unnecessary tests.
