Cytopathology Services at NovaPath  Diagnostics

Cytopathology Services

At NOVAPATH DIAGNOSTICS, we provide a complete range of Cytopathology services designed for early and accurate disease detection. Cytopathology is the microscopic study of individual cells to diagnose infections, inflammation, and cancer.

It is a simple, quick, and minimally invasive diagnostic technique that provides invaluable insights for effective treatment planning. Our expert cytopathologists perform and interpret all cytology samples with precision, ensuring high diagnostic accuracy and clear communication with clinicians for optimal patient management.

Our Cytology Expertise

Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)

A rapid, safe, and minimally invasive diagnostic test performed using a fine needle to collect cellular material from palpable lumps, swellings, or image-guided deep-seated lesions. Helps differentiate benign and malignant conditions with quick reporting and minimal patient discomfort.

Exfoliative Cytology

Study of cells that naturally shed or are scraped from body surfaces such as the oral cavity, respiratory tract, or skin, providing early clues to infection, precancerous, or malignant changes. Essential for screening and early detection programs.

Fluid Cytology

Microscopic examination of body fluids such as pleural, ascitic, pericardial, cerebrospinal, and urine samples to detect infections, inflammation, and malignant cells. A crucial tool for evaluating metastatic spread, effusions, and systemic diseases.

Specialized Cytology Procedures

Comprehensive specialized cytology services including advanced diagnostic procedures for various body sites and clinical scenarios, ensuring complete cellular evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

Specialized Cytology Procedures

We offer a comprehensive range of specialized cytology procedures to meet diverse diagnostic needs across different clinical scenarios and body sites.

  • Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL Cytology) - Evaluation of lung secretions and alveolar cells for respiratory infections, interstitial lung diseases, and pulmonary malignancies
  • Sputum Cytology - Analysis of coughed-up respiratory secretions for detection of lung cancer, tuberculosis, and other pulmonary conditions
  • Urine Cytology - Screening and detection of urothelial carcinoma, infections, and inflammatory conditions of the urinary tract
  • Body Fluid Cytology - Comprehensive analysis of pleural, ascitic, CSF, and pericardial fluids for malignancy, infection, and inflammatory conditions
  • Brush Cytology - Cellular sampling from mucosal surfaces of bronchi, gastrointestinal tract, and biliary system using specialized brushes
  • EUS-Guided FNACs - Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspirations for pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and mediastinal lesions
  • CT / USG-Guided Aspirations - Image-guided sampling of deep-seated lesions in liver, pancreas, kidneys, and other internal organs
  • Cervical Pap Smears - Gold standard screening for cervical cancer and precancerous conditions of the cervix
