Led by a highly qualified and experienced anatomical pathologist in Melaka, our service is dedicated to delivering precise, timely, and clinically relevant diagnoses through expert examination of tissue and cellular samples. These diagnostic insights play a crucial role in guiding patient management, treatment planning, and improving overall health outcomes.

Our Core Services

Using advanced laboratory techniques and rigorous quality standards, our Anatomical Pathology service provides expert interpretation across key diagnostic areas:

Histopathology
Involves the microscopic examination of biopsy and surgical tissue specimens to diagnose a wide range of conditions such as cancer, chronic inflammation, infections, and autoimmune diseases. This process is critical for confirming disease presence, grading and staging malignancies, and assessing surgical margins.

Cytopathology
Focuses on the study of individual cells obtained from body fluids (such as urine, pleural, or peritoneal fluid), smears (such as Pap smears), or fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies. Cytopathology plays a vital role in the early detection of cancer, pre-cancerous changes, and other cellular abnormalities.
