Cytology specimens

Cytology specimens are samples taken from cells in the body to examine for diseases, particularly cancer. They are commonly collected from areas such as the lungs, cervix, or body fluids like urine. The samples are typically prepared on slides and analyzed under a microscope by pathologists. This process helps identify abnormal cell changes, guiding diagnosis and treatment. Cytology is a valuable tool in preventive medicine, as it can catch potential health issues early before they become more serious.
