Frequently asked questions

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.

Can I drink coffee or tea before Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion?plus

If Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion needs fasting, avoid tea and coffee (even without sugar) during the fasting window, as they can affect some results; plain water is fine. If no fasting is required, your usual drinks are okay.

Can Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion be combined with a health package?plus

Yes. Slides &/or Blocks for Second Opinion can be booked on its own or as part of a broader preventive health package on GetVisit, which often works out more cost-effective. You can choose either option before payment.
