The Hematopathology Service of the Division of Surgical Pathology provides comprehensive diagnostic services and professional expertise relating to disorders of the blood and blood-forming tissues, the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and thymus. In addition to conventional histology, a variety of specialized immunological, molecular, cytogenetic, and flow cytometric tests are performed routinely and are integrated by faculty into diagnostic reports. The Service provides in-house coverage for Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and consultation services for outside institutions located in the U.S. and other countries. Educational initiatives include teaching of students and training of residents and fellows, as well as programs for continuing medical education.
