Track 20: Brain Pathology and Oncology Research
Brain pathology refers to the study of disorders affecting the brain, particularly those confined to the central nervous system. Neuropathology focuses on examining disease processes within nervous system tissue, often through surgical biopsies or autopsy. Neuropathologists, who typically work within anatomic pathology departments, collaborate closely with clinical specialties such as neurology and neurosurgery for diagnostic purposes. Given that brain disease or injury can be linked to causes of death, neuropathology has a close connection with forensic pathology. This area of study encompasses the broader field of neuropathophysiology, contributing significantly to neurological and biomedical science, with a focus on clinical neuro-oncology for diagnosing and treating brain cancers.
