Testing

All of our pathologists are available to provide consultative services to outside laboratories on difficult cases.

Women’s Health Services

The most important usage of cytopathology is the detection of cervical dysplasia and cancer at an early treatable stage. At YPI, we utilize the ThinPrep® Pap system, which allows us to screen for cervical dysplasia, and when requested, test for gonorrhea and chlamydia and high risk HPV, all from the ThinPrep® vial. We are also one of the select institutions that examine all of our Pap cases on a revolutionary ThinPrep® Imaging System with Dual Review.

Dermatopathology

We offer advanced diagnostic testing including comprehensive immunohistochemistry, as well as B cell and T cell gene rearrangement studies.
