Assessment of cellular detail and abnormalities in a preparation of cells obtained by fine needle aspiration (FNA), or by other methods such as imprint or duct discharge cytology.
The branch of medicine concerned with the body’s cells
the branch of biology that studies the structure and function of cells
Examining cells from a lump or cyst for any evidence of cancer
During surgery, the abdomen is flushed with a saline solution which is then sent to pathology to review for floating cancer cells. This is also called peritoneal washings.
Branch of biology that deals with the formation, structure, and function of cells.
Study of cells under a microscope. Cells that have been sloughed off or scraped off organs, such as the uterus, lungs, bladder or stomach, are microscopically examined for signs of cancer.
the study of individual cells.
The study of cells, their origin, structure and function. In medicine, often used to describe the study and identification of cells from clinical specimens.
The medical term for a Pap test or smear.
The study of cells,especially their formation,structure & functions.
The study of cells. A Cytology brush is passed through a scope into the ureter and manipulated for the collection of cells
the study of cells, their origin, structure, function, and pathology.
The microscopic study of cells that have been shed or scraped from the cervix, uterus, lungs, bladder, or skin. An example of this procedure is the Pap test, used to detect cervical cancer.
the branch of biological science that deals with the structure and function of cells. In asbestos cases, it often refers to the testing of liquid removed from the outside of the lung.
The examination of cells under a microscope looking for abnormalities.
The branch of biology dealing with cell structure.
the study of the structure, function and pathology of cells.
the branch of biology concerned with the study of cells.
A sample of cells is taken from a part of the body and put under a microscope pathologist can see if the cells are cancer cells. Commonly done with sputum.
The branch of biology dealing with the study of the formation, structure, and function of cells
the study of the health of cells
Cytology is the microscopic study of cell samples from various human body sites for the purposes of: detection, diagnosis and management of human disease. In cytology labs, cytopathologists seek to identify cells.
The study of cells. Cervical cytology aims to detect squamous cell carcinoma or the precursors of cervical carcinoma. The cells are examined under a microscope for signs of abnormality:(a) Positive cytology (smear) - an indicator of the presence of disease(b) Negative cytology (smear) - an indicator of the absence of disease
Tests to diagose cancer by examination of cells under a microscope.
The microscopic examination of cells.
The scientific study of structures within the cell.
The study of the structure, function, and chemistry of the cell.
the study of cells using a microscope. An example of this procedure is the Pap smear, used to detect cells that may lead to cervical cancer.
The study of cells. Making a Diagnosis
The sampling of tissue with a small needle and syringe. The sample is placed on a slide, stained and examined under a microscope. This is a simple procedure that in most cases can be done quickly and without sedation. Cytology tutorial.
The study or examination of cells by a cyto-pathologist using a microscope to determine whether they are cancerous or benign (non-cancerous).
Cytology is the study of the structure and function of cells.
The study of cells that are scraped from surfaces or withdrawn from a mass to examine for abnormal or cancerous change.
The examination of cells obtained from the body tissue or fluids, especially to establish if they are cancerous.
the study of cells taken as samples during procedures like a Pap smear.
the study of cells at the microscopic level.
The study of cells using a microscope (a device that uses a combination of lenses to make enlarged images of tiny objects).
(sigh TOL oh jee): The study of the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and chemistry of the cell.
Examination of cells under the microscope.
The subdivision of biology that deals with the study of cells.
the study of the anatomy, physiology and chemistry of cells.
The branch of biology which deals with structure, function, multiplication, pathology and the life history of cells.
