Cytology

Cytology at Duchy Hospital

What is cytology?

Cytology, sometimes called cytopathology, involves looking at your individual cells to screen for and diagnose diseases. A sample of cells is taken from your body and suitably prepared. It is then looked at under the microscope to identify the cell and check for any abnormal cell changes.

A cytology test can be used to diagnose possible cancer and also pre-cancer which is cell changes that if left untreated may develop into true cancer. It can also diagnose many non-cancerous medical conditions such as infections and systemic diseases.
