Cytology is a specialized branch of pathology that studies individual cells to identify structural or functional abnormalities. This diagnostic technique helps detect early signs of cancer, infection, or inflammation, often before symptoms appear or become clinically evident. Common types include Pap Smear, FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology), fluid cytology, and exfoliative cytology for comprehensive cellular evaluation.

These evaluations are performed using advanced staining and microscopy techniques for accurate diagnosis and cellular characterization. Experienced cytopathologists examine samples collected from various body fluids, tissue aspirates, or surface smears to identify cellular changes, atypical features, or malignant transformations with precision.

The test is essential for detecting conditions such as cervical dysplasia, breast lumps, thyroid nodules, salivary gland masses, or respiratory tract infections. It is minimally invasive, safe, and provides rapid diagnostic insights that guide timely treatment decisions and clinical management.

Early cellular diagnosis through cytology can prevent disease progression and improve treatment success rates. It plays a crucial role in cancer screening programs and monitoring high-risk patients effectively.
