cytological evaluation

Cytological evaluation is a laboratory process where cells collected from the body, such as from a biopsy or a fluid sample, are examined under a microscope. This helps doctors identify if cells are healthy or abnormal, which can indicate conditions like infections, inflammation, or cancer. By studying cell size, shape, and appearance, pathologists can provide important information about a patient’s health status and assist in diagnosis and treatment planning. This technique is minimally invasive and provides quick insights into cellular changes associated with various diseases.
