What is "pathology"?

Pathology is the study of diseases, their causes, processes, and effects on the body's tissues and organs. Pathologists, medical specialists in this field, examine tissue samples, bodily fluids, and cells to diagnose diseases and understand their underlying causes. They identify abnormalities, such as cancerous cells or infectious substances, and provide valuable information about the progress and treatment options for the disease. Pathology includes various subfields, including anatomical pathology, clinical pathology, and molecular pathology, all aiming to advance medical knowledge and patient care.
