Fluid-based cytology

Fluid-based cytology is a laboratory technique used to collect and analyze cells from body fluids, such as cervical mucus or sputum. This method involves collecting a sample, preparing it on a slide, and examining it under a microscope to identify abnormalities or diseases, such as cancer. Unlike traditional methods, fluid-based cytology helps to reduce the number of unwanted cells on slides, enhancing the accuracy of diagnosis. It provides a clearer view of the cells, allowing for better detection of conditions early on and improving patient outcomes through timely intervention.
