A Breast Pathologist is a specialized medical doctor who diagnoses diseases of the breast, including benign conditions and breast cancer, by examining tissue samples under a microscope. They play a crucial role in patient care by identifying tumor types, staging cancer, and guiding treatment plans. Breast Pathologists work closely with surgeons, oncologists, and radiologists to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatment strategies.
