Some forms of pathogenesis are:

In most diseases, there are multiple pathogenetical processes at work. For example: certain cancers arise from dysfunction of the immune system (skin tumors and lymphoma after a renal transplant - which requires immunosuppression).


Often, a potential etiology is identified by epidemiological observations before a pathological link can be drawn between the cause and the disease.
