Laboratory of Pathomorphology
Head of the Laboratory - Lali Tsivtsivadze
The Laboratory is equipped with LEICA modern equipment and digital microscopes: OLIMPUS BX 43, NICON ECLIPSECI, immunohistochemical examination machine LEICA BOND MAX, fully automated microtome - LEICA RM 2255 for MICROTOME research process, ASP Dyeing machine - LEICA ST5020 MULTISTAINER. Fluorescent Microscope - AXIO IMAGER A2 FICH ANALYSIS, for HER2 / CEN Analysis, Molecular Research - Determination of ALK Status.
The Laboratory of Pathomorphological carries outs
- Examination of operative, biopsy, (including express biopsy) and cytological material, general morphological, immunohistochemical, in situ hybridization.
Immunohistochemical examination is performed with LEICA AUTOSTAINER BOND MAX using a wide range of antibodies.
This method is used for:
- Clarification of tumor histogenesis;
- Identification of primary foci;
- Determining the degree of tumor anaplasia;
- Determination of immunophenotype in lymphoproliferative disease;
- Estimation of progesterone receptors and oncogene Her2 /neu (or c-erb-B-2) in breast cancer;
- Determination of tumor tissue sensitivity to hormonal and chemotherapeutic drugs.
The main directions of the work of the Laboratory of Pathomorphology are:
- Morphological diagnosis of pathological processes of various organs and systems during lifetime;
- Clinical-anatomical analysis
- Predictive evaluation of processes.
