1) Cytology is a division of Anatomical Pathology in which cells are
examined under the microscope to detect a variety of diseases
including various types of cancers.
2) There are 2 main types of cytology specimens - gynaecological and nongynaecological.
Gynaecological specimens are usually Pap
(cervical) smears. Non-gynaecological specimens fall into 2
categories – exfoliative and fine needle aspiration samples.
3) Cytologists, sometimes also known as cytotechnologists, are specially
trained personnel who prepare cytology slides and examine
them under the microscope to diagnose various types of
diseases, including some types of cancers. Most of the
abnormalities detected by the cytologist (including all of the
cancers) are then examined by a pathologist before a final
diagnosis is made.
