Gastrointestinal Pathologists

Gastrointestinal pathologists are specialized doctors who study diseases affecting the digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. They analyze tissue samples (biopsies) from patients to diagnose conditions like infections, inflammation, or cancer. By examining these samples under a microscope, they identify abnormalities that can help guide medical treatment. Their expertise is crucial in ensuring accurate diagnoses and effective management of gastrointestinal diseases, working closely with gastroenterologists and surgeons to provide comprehensive care for patients.
