Cytopathology Guidelines

Cytopathology guidelines are standardized best practices used by healthcare professionals to examine and diagnose diseases based on individual cells collected from the body, like tissue samples or fluids. These guidelines ensure consistent, accurate, and timely detection of conditions such as infections, inflammation, or cancers. They help determine the most appropriate sample collection methods, laboratory techniques, and reporting procedures, ultimately guiding effective patient diagnosis and treatment. By following these established protocols, cytopathologists provide reliable results that support clinicians in making informed medical decisions.
