From Biopsy to Diagnosis: How Pathologists Diagnose Cancer and Other Diseases 

Hi Victoria. Why is the tissue inked before dissection?

The purpose of inking before cutting is to indicate the margins (where a surgeon cuts), to preserve orientation (how the tissue or organ is located in or on the body) and allow the pathologist to know where they are when they look at a single cell-layer thick section of that tissue under a microscope. A different color signifies a specific location or orientation. If, for example, cancer reaches or goes beyond a margin, then the pathologist can tell the patient's physician what stage that cancer is in and in which exact location the surgeon needs to back and take more of that tissue out.

Have you also been a weeny for your entire life?

I hope you’re okay. I’m so sorry you’re going through this! 😞😩😢

They like to finger the tumor cells. It's generally frowned upon but they unionised and the hospital board cant do shit about it now.

@fake Apple Store, I was thinking the same thing, it seems like with something so technical and precise one would wear gloves so they don't contaminate anything!
