Cytopathology

Cytopathology is a diagnostic technique that examines cells from various body tissues to detect diseases, particularly cancer. By studying cell samples, cytopathology helps identify abnormalities such as infections, inflammatory conditions, or cancerous growths at an early stage. Patients should opt for cytopathology when their healthcare provider suspects abnormal cell growth, tumor development, or infection in organs like the lungs, cervix, or lymph nodes.
