Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

What is slide and block in a biopsy?plus

A block is the processed tissue specimen embedded in paraffin that preserves and stores the sample for cutting. A slide is a glass surface holding a thin section sliced from that block, then stained for microscopic examination. The block is the archival source; slides are the prepared, stained sections pathologists review to make a diagnosis.

What is the difference between a slide and a block?plus

The difference: a block is the paraffin‑embedded tissue specimen kept as the archival sample; it contains the whole tissue and can be resectioned for additional tests. A slide is a thin section cut from that block, mounted on glass and stained for microscopic examination. Blocks are permanent and reusable; slides are single preparations used for diagnosis and may deteriorate over time.

How to get a second opinion on pathology slides?plus

To get a second opinion on pathology slides, ask your treating clinician to refer you or release the slides, request transfer to a specialist pathologist or tertiary centre, and provide clinical history and records. Laboratories accept glass slides or digital whole-slide images; you can use telepathology services. Confirm costs, turnaround time and insurance coverage, then obtain a written report and discuss findings with your doctor.

Why would a biopsy be sent for a second opinion?plus

Biopsies are sent for a second opinion to confirm or refine a diagnosis, especially in rare, complex, or borderline cases, or when initial results conflict with clinical findings. Subspecialty expertise may be needed for unusual tumors or specialized stains. Second opinions reduce diagnostic error, guide high‑stakes treatment decisions, and provide reassurance for clinicians and patients.

Do I need a doctor's prescription to book Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion?plus

You can book Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion on GetVisit with or without a prescription, though a doctor's advice helps with interpreting the result. Cashless OPD may require a referral, depending on your insurer.

Can menstruation affect Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion results?plus

Some tests, such as iron studies and certain hormone panels, can be influenced by your menstrual cycle. If you are on your period, mention it so your doctor can judge whether timing matters for Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion.
