Pulmonary pathology

All in one place.

Our pathology section at Mayo Clinic represents the largest group of pulmonary pathologists in the country. We see a broad range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic thoracic cases and have access to additional testing for an in-depth workup of cases including predictive markers for lung cancer and molecular testing.

Unique pathology expertise
