THE ROLE AND LIMITS OF PATHOLOGY IN ONCOLOGY
The aim of the review article is to analyze and summarize the role and limits of the modern pathology within the tumor´s disease diagnostic procedure, by the considerations of its optimal therapeutic managment, as well as during the follow up of the disease. These requirements of the oncologic praxis cause the necessity to apply a complete methodologic instrumentary of the modern pathology – from morphologic analysis to the phenotypic studies and tumor cells´ genotypic analysis using the framework of the molecular pathology.
Keywords: oncologic pathology, typing of the tumour, its grading and staging, molecular pathology.
