English Bio

I’m Dr. Marcelo Balancin, I’m a physician specialized in Anatomic Pathology, especially interested in oncopathology and pulmonary pathology. I care for people in a sensitive life scenario: when they need a biopsy to investigate a condition, a symptom, or to test for therapeutic targets.

Those who have undergone a biopsy may know that the biopsy, a piece of tissue or even an entire organ, will be analysed through a microscope by a surgical pathologist, as me. Daily, we have the opportunity to look at many slides. Each of them is a life we’re caring for, diagnosing from an ample spectrum of disease. At the end, a report will be generated, with a name and some parameters. Our efforts will not be measured to offer the most correct name and precise parameters. Besides diagnosing, we guide therapy. Frozen sections, margins evaluations, cancer staging and biomarkers assays may parametrize therapy. Her-2, PD-L1 and repair proteins are just three examples that have lifted medical practice in the last two decades. As a physician-scientist, I study tumoral microenvironment and focus on incorporating new technologies, as computational pathology, in medical practice to enhance compliance with patient safety. As an academic pathologist, I am committed to transmit the quest for knowledge and excellency pursuit to every trainee I have a chance to work with.

In sum, as pathologist, I stick to being a physician. And, as a physician, I’m caring for people, not simply slides. Each glass slide is a patient. Each patient is a story. Each story is a life, or many lives, we care.

Portuguese Bio

Eu sou Dr. Marcelo Balancin, sou médico especializado em Anatomia Patológica, interessado em oncopatologia e patologia pulmonar. Assisto às pessoas em um cenário de vida sensível: quando elas precisam de uma biópsia para investigar uma doença, um sintoma ou para pesquisar por alvos terapêuticos. Aqueles que se submeteram a uma biópsia podem saber que na biópsia, um pedaço de tecido ou até mesmo um órgão inteiro, será analisada através de um microscópio por um patologista cirúrgico, como eu.

Diariamente, temos a oportunidade de ver muitas lâminas. Cada um deles é uma vida que estamos cuidando, diagnosticando a partir de um amplo espectro de doenças, cujo final se resumirá a um relatório, com um nome e alguns parâmetros. Nossos esforços não serão medidos para oferecer o nome mais correto e parâmetros precisos. Além de diagnosticar, orientamos a terapia. Exames de congelação, avaliações de margens, estadiamento do câncer e testes de biomarcadores que podem parametrizar a terapia. Her-2, PD-L1 e proteínas de reparo são apenas exemplos de alguns que enriqueceram a prática médica nas últimas duas décadas. Como médico-cientista, eu estudo microambiente tumoral e foco na incorporação de novas tecnologias, como patologia computacional, na prática médica para melhorar a conformidade com a segurança do paciente. Como patologista acadêmico, tenho o compromisso de transmitir a busca pelo conhecimento e excelência em a todos os alunos com quem tenho a chance de trabalhar.

Em suma, como patologista, atenho à minha persona médica. E, como médico, cuido de pessoas, não somente de lâminas. Cada lâmina é um paciente. Cada paciente é uma história. Cada história é uma vida, ou muitas vidas, às quais assistimos.
