Cytopathology is a branch of Science that focuses on the diagnosis of diseases at the cellular level. One of the common applications is Pap smear test, which is used as a screening tool in identifying cervical lesions.
There are two methods for collecting cells for cytopathologic analysis: Exfoliative Cytology and intervention cytology: Exfoliative Cytology- here cells are collected once they have been either spontaneously shed by the body ("spontaneous exfoliation") or manually scraped/brushed off of a surface in the body ("mechanical exfoliation"). Intervention cytology- in this method, the cells are collected from the lesions or cell masses using syringes by the application of negative pressure i.e., suction in order to increase the yield.
