Getting the Correct Diagnosis

Sanford Health pathologists work closely with your doctor to get you the correct diagnosis and the best care.

We specialize in studying and diagnosing disease. We do this by examining organs, tissues, cells and bodily fluids.

At Sanford Health, you also have access to cytopathologists - specialists who study disease on a cellular level. We use small amounts of cells, fluids or tissues to screen and diagnose disease.

A widely used resource for physicians who treat people with cancer is the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Surgeons, pathologists, oncologists and radiologists utilize the NCCN for all types of cancer, seeking information on recommended cancer work-up, treatment and examination. The NCCN website provides information beyond that being sought by members of the medical community. Patients also have access to the same information that physicians use to guide treatment.
