Dr. Harness:

A pathology report is what a pathologist, a physician specialist in looking at slides and doing autopsies and all those sorts of things, looks at, typically under the microscope, to describe what the cells look like, to describe how abnormal they look, there are classification systems that they have. All of these factors go in and a good point is, the patient should have copies of all their reports including their pathology reports, their X-ray reports, summaries of operating reports if necessary, and one of the things I encourage patients to do is to actually create a three-ring binder where they keep copies of all their reports.
