Glossary of terms

Histology Report: Histopathology is the examination of tissues from the body under a microscope to spot the signs and characteristics of a disease. A histopathology report describes the tissue that has been sent for examination and what features are visible microscopically. Occasionally a histopathology report is also called a biopsy report. The report will also, if the tissue is cancerous, indicate the grade of the cancer and if it is malignant and invasive.

Mammogram Report: This report is compiled by a doctor, indicating what is visible on a mammogram.

Sonar Report: This report is compiled by a doctor after a sonar has been performed to check the breasts, uterus, etc.  It will indicate what is visible on the sonar.

Pap Smear Report: These reports are available from a Gynaecologist. They will indicate the results of all pap smears that have been performed over the lifetime of a patient.

PSA Results: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in the blood by way of testing the blood collected from the patient in a laboratory.

GP Notes: These notes are from the General Practitioner. These are all notes made by the GP when the patient comes for consultations related to any minor ailments, e.g. colds and flu’s. These notes are required as clients are not required to undergo medical examinations before taking out a policy.
