Clinical Care

Overview

Minhua Wang, MD, PhD, is a pathologist with a clinical focus on cytopathology and gynecological pathology. Much of her clinical work involves studying specimens with a microscope and reviewing ancillary tests. As a cytopathologist, she studies fluid, smear, and aspiration specimens to make a diagnosis. In the gynecological pathology service, she examines surgical tissue samples from the female reproductive tract to look for the presence of malignancy.

Dr. Wang says she was drawn to pathology because she saw it as an important link in patient care. “The pathological diagnosis provides clinicians with crucial information in their decision-making regarding disease management,” she says. She plays a key role in rendering definitive cancer diagnoses and describes it as “a privilege” to assist clinicians in the care of cancer patients.

In addition to her clinical work as a pathologist, Dr. Wang is engaged in research projects to investigate certain biomarkers and their utility in enhancing diagnostic accuracy for certain types of cancers and/or their prognostic value using cytology specimens. She also is involved in other cytohistological validation studies that aim to improve pathological diagnostic accuracy to better guide clinical decision-making.
