Hospitex International was present at the Triennial SIAPeC organized by the Italian Society of Pathological Anatomy.
The Triennial Congress of Pathological Anatomy SIAPeC sets itself the annual goal of promoting the improvement of diagnostic accuracy, ultimately aiming to consistently enhance the quality of health services for citizens. This is achieved through effective updates and meaningful scientific and professional exchanges.
What is meant by Pathological Anatomy?
Pathological Anatomy is the cornerstone of any diagnostic and therapeutic pathway; it serves as the bridge connecting the study of biological sciences to medical practice. This discipline studies diseases through the examination of cells and tissues, relying minimally on quantitative data generated by analytical instruments and primarily based on the experiential knowledge of the physician. The presence of the pathologist in multidisciplinary oncology teams is now a cornerstone, ensuring the best therapeutic planning.
The diagnostic activity of the pathologist extends across all fields of pathology, playing a fundamental role in oncological prevention. As the physician responsible for cytohistological diagnostic procedures and screening programs, the pathologist formulates diagnoses that influence subsequent clinical and therapeutic decisions, while also contributing significantly to pathology registries and epidemiological surveys of the region.
What does the evolution of pathological anatomy entail, and why is it so important?
In light of what has emerged from the debate, Pathology emerges as a discipline in continuous evolution, thanks in large part to the ongoing technological development.
The possibility of comparison and the use of new technologies, introduced by the so-called ‘pathology 4.0’, would allow the scientific community to lay the foundation for governing the third revolution that is impacting this profession and can ensure more precise and faster diagnoses. The constant implementation of advanced digital instrumentation would lead to significant benefits for patients, allowing them access to the best healthcare pathways.
Hospitex has always understood the importance and supported these occasions, not only for the present but also for the future of Italian Pathology.
