YOUR GUIDE TO THE BREAST CANCER PATHOLOGY REPORT

A report is written each time that tissue is removed from the body to check for cancer. It is called a pathology report. Each report has the results of the studies of the tissue that was removed. The information in these reports will help you and your doctor decide about the best treatment for you.

Reading your pathology report can be confusing. The words are like a foreign language. Different labs may use different words to describe the same thing. We hope we can help you make sense of this information so you can get the best care possible.
