Cytology

Cytology is a science that studies the structure, chemical composition, development and function of cells. Microscopic examination of cells is used to diagnose various diseases. These cells are obtained by scraping the lining of organs, as in cervical cytology (see Cervical smear), aspiration (see Aspiration cytology), or collected from previously exfoliated cells (exfoliative cytology). See also Biopsy. - Cytological.

Cytology is a science that studies the structure, chemical composition and functions of body cells. It is one of the main disciplines in biology and medicine. In the diagnosis of various diseases, an important role is played by microscopic examination of cells obtained by curettage of the mucous membranes of organs, as well as aspiration or collection of previously exfoliated cells.

Cytology has many applications in medicine, including the diagnosis of cancer, infectious diseases, hormonal disorders and other diseases. It is also used in studies of development and aging of the body, as well as in the study of genetic and hereditary diseases.

One of the most common cytology methods is the cervical smear, which is used to diagnose cervical cancer. This method involves collecting cells from the lining of the cervix and examining them under a microscope. There is also aspiration cytology, which is used to diagnose bronchopulmonary diseases, and exfoliative cytology, used to examine the skin and mucous membranes.

In addition, cytology can be used to assess a person's health status and determine their susceptibility to certain diseases. For example, cytology tests can help identify risk factors for breast, ovarian, and stomach cancer.

Thus, cytology is an important discipline in medicine and biology, which provides important information about the state of human health, as well as the causes and mechanisms of development of various diseases.

Cytology is a science that studies cells, their structure, composition and basic functions. It plays an important role in medicine, as it allows the diagnosis of various diseases based on microscopic examination of cells obtained from various human organs.

Cytology is applicable in such areas of medicine as gynecology and oncology. For example, a cervical smear in women is taken from the cervix and can detect the early stages of cervical cancer. In some cases, the disease can be confirmed even in the absence of obvious symptoms in the patient. Other areas of medicine where doctors can use knowledge of cell science include surgery, dermatology and neurology.

One of the most common forms of blood cytology is called a colonoscopy. The procedure is performed to detect hidden polyps, neoplasia, without the need to violate the integrity of the intestine. Colonoscopy is also used to screen for colorectal cancer. More
