Synoptic Pathology

In the cancer care environment, the pathology report is a critical piece of information for both the planning of patient treatment and medical research.

Patient Managment Cancer Registries Tissue Banks Clinical Trials
The specifics of the diagnosis, the extent of disease, and biomarker information is cruicial to selecting the appropriate course of treatment. Creating standardized case reports and the ability to determine collaborative stage requires discrete data to be extracted from pathology reports. Annotation of tissue samples with a granular, codified description of morphology, site and extent of disease enables searching for very specific samples. Histologic type, grade, and biomarker values are just some of the details needed to determine patient eligibility for participation.

Synoptex converts the text of pathology reports into discrete elements and values that can be processed by computer.

Applications

Synoptex opens the door to many new and innovative uses of pathology data.

Once pathology information is expressed in synoptic format, you’ll be able to access and analyze individual data elements such as specimen type, tumor size, histologic type, tumor grade, margins, nodal involvement, and much more…
