What is Cytology?
Cytology is the branch of medical science that focuses on the study of cells in order to diagnose diseases. It involves examining cell samples to identify abnormal growth patterns or cellular changes. Cytology is a less invasive method compared to other biopsy procedures, making it an essential diagnostic tool for identifying cancer, infections, and other medical conditions.

- Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Cytology Fine Needle Aspiration is a minimally invasive procedure used to collect cell samples from lumps, masses, or abnormal areas. The samples are then examined under a microscope for signs of cancer or other diseases. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose conditions in the breast, thyroid, lymph nodes, liver, and other organs.
- Pap Smear (Papanicolaou Test) A Pap smear is a cytology test that involves collecting cells from the cervix to screen for cervical cancer and other abnormalities. Regular Pap tests are essential for detecting precancerous changes early, leading to better treatment outcomes.
- Urine Cytology Urine cytology examines cells from a urine sample to detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney problems, and cancers such as bladder cancer. This test is a non-invasive diagnostic tool and helps in the early detection of potential issues.
- Sputum Cytology Sputum cytology involves analyzing mucus (sputum) from the lungs to detect lung infections, inflammation, or cancer. It is a critical tool in the diagnosis of respiratory disorders and lung cancer.
- Exfoliative Cytology This method involves the collection of cells from the surface of various body parts such as the skin, mouth, or mucous membranes. It helps detect conditions like infections, precancerous lesions, and certain cancers.

Cytology is a vital diagnostic tool in detecting diseases at an early stage, especially cancers that can otherwise go unnoticed until symptoms become more severe.
