Your treatment regimen is based on your pathology results. I am so honored to interview, an incredible pathologist in Columbus, OH, Dr. Syed Mohsin. He answers the following questions.
 

1. What does a breast pathologist do?
2. Why does it take a couple of days to get the pathology results?
3. How can you tell a difference between cancer and benign under microscope?
4. What is cancer anyway? 
5. Pl explain the difference between invasive cancer vs. non-invasive cancer.
6. What is the difference between grade and stage?
7. What does receptor status mean? ER, PR, Her- 2 neu?
8. When a surgeon removes lymph nodes, what does it mean when it says ITCs, micrometastasis and macrometastasis?
9. What is the difference between atypia (like ADH) vs. DCIS, similarly ALH vs. LCIS?
