Cytology is a common method for determining a diagnosis in the medical world. Cytology tests use small amounts of bodily tissue or fluid in order to examine certain types of cells. Healthcare providers can use cytology tests for almost all areas of your body. Exfoliative cytology, the study of exfoliated cells, involves analyzing cells that naturally shed from epithelial surfaces, a process that occurs normally in superficial layers, but in pathological conditions, also affects deeper layers, allowing for the detection of lesions and malignancies through a simple, rapid, non-invasive, and bloodless procedure pioneered by George Nicholas Papanicolaou.
