How Can I Understand My Pathology Report?

a year agoIs there a site that breaks down this pathology report for idiots?
Accepted Answer
Understanding pathology reports can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with a new breast cancer diagnosis. Many reputable cancer organizations like the American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute offer patient-friendly guides that break down medical terminology into easier language, and discussing the report with your healthcare team or a patient navigator can help clarify any confusing sections.
