Great News! Your Pathology Result is Benign
Your pathology test result is benign. That means no cancer was found, and the tissue does not show signs of harmful disease. Benign findings are common and often do not require treatment. In some cases, your care team may recommend routine follow‑up or monitoring.
What “Benign” Means
- Not cancer: The cells tested do not show cancer.
- Usually not harmful: Many benign conditions do not cause long‑term health problems.
- Possible follow‑up: Your clinician may suggest observation, imaging, or a future check‑in depending on your specific result.
What Happens Next
- Review your report: Read your result summary in the Patient Portal.
- Follow your care plan: If instructions or follow‑up appointments are listed, please schedule or complete them.
- Ask questions: If anything is unclear, reach out to your care team.
