Cytology
Cytology is a branch of pathology that studies and diagnoses diseases on the cellular level. The discipline was founded by George Nicolas Papanicolaou in 1928. Cytology is generally used on samples of free cells or tissue fragments, in contrast to histopathology, which studies whole tissues. Cytology is frequently, less precisely, called "cytology", which means "the study of cells". Cytology is commonly used to investigate diseases involving a wide range of body sites, often to aid in the diagnosis of cancer but also in the diagnosis of some infectious diseases and other inflammatory conditions. For example, a common application of cytology is the Pap smear, a screening tool used to detect precancerous cervical lesions that may lead to cervical cancer. Cytology tests are sometimes called smear tests because the samples may be smeared across a glass microscope slide for subsequent staining and microscopic examination. However, cytology samples may be prepared in other ways, including cytocentrifugation. Different types of smear tests may also be used for cancer diagnosis. In this sense, it is termed a cytology smear.
Cytology
Shrey Pathology & Microbiology Laboratory provides comprehensive screening and diagnostic cytology services to hospitals and clinician for malignant and non malignant lesions.
All types of cytology specimens are routinely received and processed, including Gynecological (PAP smears), Non-Gynecological including Body Fluids and Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology(FNAC) specimens (Performed by Pathologist at lab / outpatient clinics / Hospitals / Radiology clinic).
Specific test and collection information for Cytology specimens can be found in the Directory services.
