Anatomic Pathology

Anatomic Pathology is under the direction of Audrey Lazenby, M.D., and consists of 20 pathologists in the sections of Surgical Pathology, Autopsy Pathology, Cytopathology, Hematopathology, Neuropathology, Renal Pathology, Liver and Transplant Pathology, and Dermatopathology. Each year, the AP division is responsible for the diagnosis of over 37,000 surgical and consult specimens; 25,000 cytopathology specimens and 140 autopsies. In addition to providing service at The Nebraska Medical Center (TNMC), the division provides pathology coverage to the Nebraska Orthopedic Hospital, the Bellevue Medical Center and multiple other clients through the Regional Pathology Services.

Pathologic diagnoses are supported by expertise in immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, electron microscopy, flow cytometry and molecular diagnostic tests. Clinical care activity also includes the staffing multidisciplinary tumor boards and other clinicopathologic conferences. Teaching is a major focus as faculty are actively involved in teaching of medical students; residents and fellows, including in other departments; and allied health students. Active research efforts span studies in basic science, translational research, diagnosis and classification of clinicopathologic disorders and quality control.
