7 A likely contributing factor is that pathologists are able to focus on fewer nodes, thus allowing a more detailed examination.
Because of the unique ID-number of each pathology examination it is possible to distinguish new records from revisions and, thus, pathologists are able to add new information to the records.
Another type of biopsy, called fine-needle aspiration biopsy, yields cells rather than a tissue sample, so the pathologist is able to assess only cellular features and not the architectural characteristics of the tissue suspected of harbouring a tumour.
But if that's the justification, it's all the more important that a forensic pathologist be able to nail down the time of death to the minute.
Despite the high rate of necrosis, the pathologist was able to see wide area of haemorrhage compatible with telangiectasic subtype (Fig. 2E).
In the remainder the pathologist was able to diagnose adenocarcinoma but no primary site with only three patients requiring a surgical biopsy.
By quantifying the imaging outcomes and screening cases that are not likely to be malignant, the pathologist is able to devote more attention to the samples that indicate possible malignancy.
The number of nodes found within a specimen relies on two principal factors: first, the amount of tissue, particularly mesenteric, taken out by the surgeon and, second, the number of nodes that the pathologist is able to find in the specimen.
