Bacteria
Working at Valleywise Health locations across the Valley and collaborating with physician colleagues across medical specialties, District Medical Group (DMG) includes pathologists to support diagnosis of an illness and help guide treatment.
Working in labs and largely “invisible” to patients, DMG pathologists examine surgically removed samples of diseased tissue (a “biopsy”) for:
Cancer
Virus
Other infectious agents
DMG pathologists may also analyze blood samples, helping to monitor and track the progression of a bloodborne illness during a patient’s treatment.
