If you have ever had a blood test, swab or biopsy, you have relied on the work of a pathology team. Pathology professionals work behind the scenes to collect, analyse and process medical tests, helping doctors diagnose disease, monitor treatment and keep Australians healthy.
Pathology is at the core of our health system. Seventy percent of all medical decisions rely on pathology. Every single cancer diagnosis depends on it.
Our campaign, Pathology. Essential to every health decision, highlights just how vital this service is, not only in diagnosis and treatment but also in prevention and early detection. When found early, many diseases can be treated and managed effectively. If they are left too long, they can be life threatening.
