With expertise in the field of pathology, Dr. Victorio also maintains his education in the field of hematology, which is the study of diseases in the blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes. Pathology is a branch of medical science that involves the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues (biopsy samples), bodily fluids, and in some cases the whole body (autopsy). Aspects of a bodily specimen that may be considered include its gross anatomical make up, appearance of the cells using immunological markers and chemical signatures in the cells. Pathology also includes the related scientific study of disease processes whereby the causes, mechanisms and extent of disease are examined. Areas of study include cellular adaptation to injury, necrosis (death of living cells or tissues), inflammation, wound healing, and neoplasia (abnormal new growth of cells). Pathologists specialize in a wide range of diseases including cancer and the vast majority of cancer diagnoses are made by pathologists. The cellular pattern of tissue samples are observed under a microscope to help determine if a sample is cancerous or non-cancerous (benign). Pathologists also employ genetic studies and gene markers in the assessment of various diseases. In association with Yosemite Pathology Medical Group, Dr. Victorio and his team enable the delivery of solutions that answer the needs of their clients, and have become the premier provider of anatomic pathology services in the Western United States. His philosophy of care aims to provide patients with the most up-to-date and accurate medical care possible.
