Guna Volanska

Guna Volanska serves as Acting Assistant in the Department of Pathology with active research in diagnostic pathology. Her work focuses on thyroid disorders, cancer biomarkers, and immunohistochemical techniques, contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through clinical medicine advancements.

Her primary research centers on thyroid pathology, specifically using HBME-1, E-cadherin, and CD56 markers for differential diagnosis of nodules and cancers. Additional work explores lung cancer biomarkers (CD44, Bcl-2), metastatic breast cancer patterns, and rare conditions like pulmonary amyloidosis. The fingerprint analysis confirms dominant expertise in thyroid pathology (100%), papillary thyroid cancer (93%), and adenoma diagnostics (76%).

Analysis of her 2012 publications reveals consistent application of immunohistochemistry to solve diagnostic challenges in oncology. Key trends include protein marker validation for thyroid subtyping, metastasis characterization in breast cancer, and rare disease documentation like amyloidosis. These works demonstrate translational research bridging laboratory findings with clinical diagnostic applications.
