What do you call the specialist who interprets the results of a biospy?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

My biopsy results were always interpreted by a pathologist, usually one with specific training depending on the system and/or disease (a gastrointestinal pathologist interpreted slides of my esophagus and stomach).

"Evied" is correct.
It is the pathologist we depend upon to make the diagnosis of malignancy.
I would often review the slides with the pathologist, but they had the last word. Reading microscopic samples is what they do - it is the main thing they do. They are the experts. Then we have to design a treatment approach based on their findings.

A ____pathologist.

Its depends on what their specialty is or they could be just general.

You can choose who you want to look at it..talk to your doctor.

When I have moles examined, I make sure my doctor sends them to a dermapathologist vs a general pathologist looking for signs of cancer.

A Pathologist - I think
