Cytopathology
Clinical Pathology Associates provides comprehensive cytopathology services, with eleven board-certified cytopathologists on staff. These services include interpretation of superficial fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB’s), deep-seated/image guided FNAB’s, gynecologic cytology and non-gynecologic effusion specimens. The practice provides cytology medical directorship of Clinical Pathology Laboratories, one of Sonic Healthcare’s largest outpatient laboratories in the United States, as well as inpatient hospital cytopathology services for hospital systems throughout South Central Texas.
We also provide real time, on-site adequacy evaluations for procedures performed by our clinical colleagues in radiology, pulmonology and gastroenterology. Our cytopathology services are enhanced by additional laboratory technology directed by our pathologists, such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, image-guided analysis, and molecular testing.
