- Exfoliative Cytology – Cells are extracted from fluid shed into the body cavities. For example, in pleural fluid, ascitic fluid, or in the case of the Pap smear, cells scraped from the cervix.
- Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology or Needle aspiration biopsy – A needle attached to a syringe is used to aspirate (pull out) cells from lesions or masses in various organs of the body by either free drainage or application of negative pressure (suction). FNAC can be done directly on a mass in superficial regions like the neck, thyroid or breast; or it may be assisted by ultrasound or CAT scan. The technique is widely used in many countries. Being a skill dependent procedure, the success rate may vary. If performed by a pathologist alone, or as team with pathologist-cytotechnologist, the success rate of proper diagnosis is superior than when performed by a non-pathologistOrell, S., et al. 2005.

Cellular Pathology...will this I am thinking about becoming a
anatomical pathology
technician. I already have a
degree in Environmnetal
Biology. I am thinking about
taking a MSc in Cellular
Pathology to maybe give me an
edge over other applicants
applying for the same posts.
Does anyone know whether this
will set me in good stead with
future employers and help with
future job prospects? Or are
there other possible ways of
improving my chanes of
employment in this sector. I
would be grateful for any
information anyone can provide

It won't hurt, but I don't think the class will enhance your resume that much. Do the best you can for all your classes especially the required ones. The best thing you can do is to work at the program that you are interested in. You can work in the Pathology lab or even as an assistant of some sorts. If you are responsible, enthusiastic, pleasant and quick learner as well as easy to get along, you will definitely have an inside track. If that program is too far, you can also try to work in a nearby lab that is similar to the one you like to get in. Good luck. |

When did Robert Virchow |
|
![]() |
Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow was among the greatest minds in medicine in the 19th century. He is named "the Father of Pathology" because of a series of 20 lectures in 1858. These lectures were published in 1858 with the original title "Die Cellularpathologie in ihrer Begründung auf physiologische und pathologische Gewebenlehre" (Cellular Pathology as Based upon Physiological and Pathological Histology). He transformed scientific thought in the whole field of biology. Greetings from germany! |
