What is stem cell banking? Is it really worth it?
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are not yet predisposed to produce a certain type of tissue. If your baby or relative has a disease that could be treated with stem cells, this may be a good idea for you. If your child may be predisposed to getting a disease that could be treated with stem cells, this may also be a good idea. You should discuss the odds of your baby needing stem cells with your physician, particularly due to the high cost of doing this. These labs may charge you a storage fee for these cells indefinitely. Get the scoop from these labs in regards to costs as well. Good luck! Renee Thomas, MD READ MORE
Is pathology of pleomorphic adenoma accurate?
There is always the risk of surgery showing something that the FNA did not primarily due to sample size. In my experience, FNAs of pleomorphic adenomas generally match what is found in surgery. Even though the tumor is benign, it needs to be surgically removed. Also, there is a higher probability of parotid gland tumors to be benign than malignant. Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common benign tumors in the parotid gland. Renee Thomas, MD READ MORE
Forensic pathologist vs pathologist
A forensic pathologist is an expert who determines the cause of death of someone who may have died under suspicious circumstances. They are able to determine entrance and exit wounds of bullets; the angles of those bullets or knife wounds; whether someone was poisoned or overdosed; if someone was murdered before being burned or drowned; use details from the scene; whether someone died by homicide, suicide or accident; etc. They usually undergo a fellowship in the field and are usually called upon by prosecutors to discuss their findings and answer questions from those who doubt their findings, such as a defense attorney. All pathologists are trained to do autopsies, but those without forensic training primarily do autopsies to determine a cause of death that is generally medical and does not constitute foul play.

What is the Gleason score in my pathology report?
The Gleason score is a way to judge the severity of a patient's prostate cancer. There are 5 patterns. The first number in the equation is the most prevalent pattern, and the second number is the next prevalent pattern. 1 is the best, and 5 is the worst. Therefore, a 4+3 cancer is a more severe cancer than a 3+4. RB Thomas, MD READ MORE
