Pathology Central Reading and Consulting
The field of pathology has made great strides in understanding disease processes and nomenclature. For clinical trials, the gold standard for many diseases is pathological evaluation of biopsy tissues or other surgical specimens.
Pathologist central readers are specifically trained in disease states and their corresponding scoring systems. This yields consistent results in pathological evaluation of tissues. To further enhance consistency, we also have the technology in place to perform simultaneous consensus reads or panel reads depending on clinical trial budget and needs.

Pathology consulting can be used at any stage of the development process of novel drugs or biomarkers. Pathology consulting is also used for second opinions in difficult clinical cases.
