Examining cells and tissues to reveal the truth within.
The Histopathology & Cytology Department plays a critical role in the early detection and accurate diagnosis of diseases, especially cancers and inflammatory conditions.
By studying cells and tissues under the microscope, our specialists identify structural and cellular changes that indicate disease, helping clinicians choose the right treatment plan at the right time.

🧫 What Is Histopathology?

Histopathology involves the microscopic examination of biopsied or surgically removed tissue samples.
The tissue is processed, sectioned, and stained using special techniques that highlight cellular details.
This analysis helps detect conditions such as:

• Benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors
• Chronic infections and inflammatory diseases
• Tissue degeneration and organ pathology
• Post-surgical margins and disease staging

🔬 What Is Cytology?

Cytology focuses on the study of individual cells rather than entire tissues.
It is commonly used for screening and early detection of cancers and infections.
Common cytological examinations include:

• Pap Smear for cervical cancer screening
• Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) for breast lumps, thyroid nodules, and lymph nodes
• Fluid Cytology for pleural, peritoneal, or cerebrospinal fluid
• Urine Cytology for detecting urinary tract malignancies

🌟 Importance of Histopathology & Cytology

• Enables definitive diagnosis of cancer and pre-cancerous conditions.
• Helps in disease staging, treatment planning, and monitoring.
• Provides insight into infection, inflammation, and degenerative changes.
• Essential for biopsy confirmation after imaging or surgical procedures.
• Plays a vital role in preventive health and cancer screening programs.
