The teams are highly specialized but collaborate closely on daily basis.Clinical functions and focus areas of the departmentThe Department of Pathology is part of Denmark's leading university hospital for specialized medicine. The hospital needs further development in the area of thoracic pathology as many new surgical and personalized medical treatments for patients with neoplastic and non-neoplastic thoracic diseases have been established at Copenhagen University Hospital - Rigshospitalet in recent years. Accordingly, the hospital is the main national referral center for the diagnostics and treatment of these diseases, which in large part rely on diagnostic and predictive histopathological and molecular-pathological analyses.
