Pathology

Pathology for skin cancer, particularly melanoma can be difficult for pathologists to interpret. The current UK guidelines mandates that all melanomas are reported independently by two separate pathologists, one of whom must have specific qualifications in reading skin cancer slides (dermatopathologist). To ensure the highest standards through his service, Mr Peach only sends the lesions and lymph nodes he has removed to dermatopathologists who he regularly interacts with as part of his private and NHS practice.
