Processing times are 12-24 hours for histological investigation of biopsies, depending on when the samples are received, 2-3 working days for larger surgical specimens, 12-24 hours in general for cytological findings, 2 hours for findings requiring a fast turnaround and 3-6 working days for molecular pathology analyses.
