Department of Cytology
At Padmashree Diagnostics, our Department of Cytology is dedicated to the early detection and diagnosis of a wide range of diseases through the microscopic examination of individual cells. Cytology is a minimally invasive, safe, and cost-effective diagnostic tool that plays a crucial role in identifying infections, inflammatory conditions, precancerous lesions, and various benign and malignant tumors.
Cytological evaluation helps clinicians:
- Detect cancer and precancerous conditions at an early stage
- Differentiate benign from malignant lesions
- Diagnose infections and inflammatory diseases
- Evaluate cysts and swellings
- Monitor previously diagnosed conditions
- Guide further treatment and surgical planning
Every specimen is carefully examined by experienced consultant pathologists to ensure accurate interpretation and clinically meaningful reporting. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate lumps, swellings, and enlarged lymph nodes. A thin needle is used to collect cells from the affected area, which are then examined under a microscope by a consultant Cytopathologist. Body fluids often contain valuable diagnostic information that can help detect infections, inflammatory disorders, and cancers.
Our laboratory performs detailed cytological examination of various body fluids to identify abnormal or malignant cells and determine the underlying cause of fluid accumulation.
Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) Pap Test
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early through regular screening. At Padmashree Diagnostics, we offer Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) Pap Testing, an advanced cervical screening technique that provides superior specimen quality and improved diagnostic accuracy compared to conventional Pap smears.
Benefits of Liquid-Based Cytology
- Improved specimen quality
- Better preservation of cervical cells
- Reduced unsatisfactory samples
- Enhanced detection of precancerous lesions
- Improved diagnostic accuracy
- Allows additional testing, such as HPV testing when indicated
Regular cervical screening using LBC plays a critical role in detecting abnormal cervical cell changes before they progress to cervical cancer.
List of Cytology Tests
1
Buccal Smear
- Microscopic examination of cheek cell smear to detect infections, inflammatory changes, premalignant lesions, and cytological abnormalities accurately.
2
Buccal Smear for Cytology
- Analyzes exfoliated buccal mucosal cells to identify cellular abnormalities, infections, dysplasia, and early malignant changes effectively.
3
Cytology Of Nipple Discharge
- Examines nipple discharge cells to detect inflammatory conditions, ductal lesions, infections, or malignant breast pathology accurately.
4
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology with Report (bilateral)
- Bilateral FNAC evaluates lesions on both sides to diagnose tumors, cysts, infections, and inflammatory conditions accurately.
5
Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology with Report
