Cytopathology involves the interpretation of cells that spontaneously exfoliate or are removed from tissues by abrasion or fine needle aspiration, such as specimens from the cervix (Pap tests), breast, thyroid, lymph node, liver, etc. The Cytopathology services are centralized at the Headquarters laboratory.
Our service includes routine cytology services, including screening of smears from both gynaecologic and non-gynaecologic origin, performance and reporting of fine needle aspiration biopsies and examination of fluids and thin preparation smear. Special procedures e.g. hormone receptor studies are available by arrangement with pathologist.
