Cytology
Cytology tests are a diagnostic procedure that examines cells from various body sites to detect abnormalities and diagnose diseases. This non-invasive method provides crucial insights into cellular changes that can indicate infections, cancers, and other medical conditions. At our diagnostic centre, we offer comprehensive cytology testing to help guide your health care decisions.
FAQs
We offer PAP smear (PAP Test), Body fluid cytology, Urinary cytology, Fine needle aspiration (FNA), and Exfoliative cytology tests.
The procedure for a cytology test depends on the type:
Pap Smear: Cells are collected from the cervix using a brush or spatula.
Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA): A thin needle is used to withdraw cells from a lump or mass.
Exfoliative Cytology: Cells are collected from naturally shed materials, such as urine or mucus.
Body Fluid Cytology: Cells are collected from fluid samples obtained through procedures like thoracentesis or paracentesis.
Cytology tests are particularly used for detecting cancers, infections, and other cellular abnormalities. However, they may not be suitable for diagnosing all types of diseases. For certain conditions, additional diagnostic methods might be required.
