addition, large numbers of consultation cases are referred each
year by pathologists from within WA and interstate.

pathology, soft tissue and bone pathology, genitourinary pathology,
neuropathology, paediatric pathology, haematopathology, pulmonary
pathology, cardiovascular and molecular pathology are led by senior
pathologists allowing us to provide the most accurate diagnostic
service. This enhances communication with subspecialised clinical
services, optimises registrar training and promotes research and
development in areas of subspecialties. The molecular laboratory is
specialised in DNA and RNA-based testing of tumours using cutting
edge technologies for the purposes of accurate diagnosis,
prognostication and prediction of response to tumour-specific
therapies. The comprehensive diagnostic and clinical services
