Cytology evaluation is a safe, efficient, and well-established technique for the diagnoses of many diseases. Its ability to reduce the mortality and morbidity of cervical cancer is through mass screening to early detect dysplasia or pre-invasive cancer cells. Classical cytological diagnosis is based on microscopic observation of specialized cells and qualitative assessment using descriptive cri...

Histopathology and cytopathology form the scientific and clinical basis for current prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Histopathology determines treatment of cancer and precancer through classifying into a diagnosis the patterns of microscopic organization of cells in tissue sections from biopsy or surgical specimens. Although morphological concepts of cervical cancer and precancer ev...

Clinical and radiologic examinations cannot reliably distinguish benign or inflammatory pancreatic disease from carcinoma. The increased use of pancreatic fine needle aspiration (FNA) along with advances in imaging techniques and the introduction of endoscopic ultrasound guidance have led to significantly better detection and recognition of pancreatic masses. Consequently, pancreatic cytopathol...

Over the past 5 years, more than a quarter million infrared spectra of individual exfoliated human cells have been collected. The origin of these cells was the urinary tract, the cervix, the esophagus and the oral and nasopharyngeal cavities. The overall aim of this research was to establish SCP as a more accurate and reliable method for medical diagnosis of exfoliated cells and as an early ind...
