Pathological Terminology

Pathological terminology plays a critical role in diagnosing and treating diseases with precision. Medical students must be well-versed in terms such as neoplasm, adenoma, carcinoma, and sarcoma to accurately classify and characterize different types of pathologies. Understanding the terms related to abnormal cellular growth, such as dysplasia, hyperplasia, and metastasis, is essential for identifying and assessing the severity of diseases. In addition, diagnostic terminology like biopsy, cytology, and histopathology aides in describing the methods used to investigate and analyze pathological conditions. Proficiency in pathological terminology allows medical professionals to communicate effectively with pathologists, oncologists, and other specialists involved in the diagnosis and management of diseases.
