Cytology is the study of cells. By microscopic examination of cells exfoliated, scraped from surfaces or aspirated from tissue the Cytology Department is able to diagnose benign, pre-malignant and malignant conditions. Material can be obtained from any organ or body site by natural voiding (eg urine or sputum), aspiration (eg pleural fluid, breast lumps) or surface scraping/brushing (eg cervical smears/endoscopic brushings) and examined microscopically.
