DIAGNOSTIC ACTIVITY

Thoracic pathology: the pathologists have many years of experience in histopathological diagnostics of a wide spectrum of thoracic pathologies, both neoplastic and non-neoplastic. They represent a national and international referral center for pulmonary interstitial diseases (mainly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, exposure pathologies (malignant mesothelioma of the pleura, asbestosis, silicosis, berylliosis), lung tumors (epithelial and non-epithelial) and tumors of the mediastinum (especially those of the thymus). The diagnostic approach to these pathologies makes use of a weekly clinico-pathologic discussion with a multidisciplinary team that involves colleagues from the clinics (such as pulmonology, oncology, respiratory pathophysiology) and surgery (especially chest surgery) units. The Unit is also a referral for the study of the explanted lungs of transplant patients and for their monitoring, through active participation in the Multidisciplinary Group of Lung Transplantation of Padua. The archiving of tissues and other biological samples in a biobank is also implemented, subject to the patient's informed consent and the insertion of clinical-morphological information on the RedCap platform.
