Histopathology involves studying tissues under a microscope to diagnose diseases like cancer, infections, and inflammations. It is the gold standard for confirming most diseases.
Cytology analyses individual cells from body fluids, fine needle aspiration (FNAC), or pap smears to detect cancers, infections, and precancerous conditions.
Cytogenetics studies chromosomal abnormalities to detect genetic disorders, congenital anomalies, and cancers at a DNA level using karyotyping and FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation).
At Dr. Anand’s Imaging & Neurological Research Centre, we provide advanced tissue, cell, and genetic testing with expert pathologists ensuring accurate and timely reports for life-saving decisions.
🔬 Confirm Disease Diagnosis
Histopathology and cytology confirm cancer, infections, inflammations.
🧬 Detect Genetic Disorders
Cytogenetics identifies chromosomal abnormalities in children, infertility, and cancers.
🛡️ Guide Treatment Decisions
Helps plan surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and genetic counselling.
💊 Monitor Disease Progression
Tracks cancer treatment response or disease recurrence.
1. 🩸 Sample Collection
Histopathology: Biopsy or surgical tissue samples.
Cytology: FNAC, pap smear, or body fluid samples.
Cytogenetics: Blood or bone marrow sample for karyotyping.
2. 🔬 Laboratory Processing
Tissue/cell samples are processed, stained, and examined under microscopes by expert pathologists.
Cytogenetic tests use karyotyping and FISH techniques to study chromosomes.
3. 📝 Reporting
Detailed reports are shared with your doctor for diagnosis and treatment planning.
4. ⏱️ Duration
Histopathology & Cytology: 1-3 days
Cytogenetics: 7-14 days
🔹 Histopathology: Biopsy Analysis, Surgical Specimen Examination
🔹 Cytology: Pap Smear, FNAC (Breast lump, Thyroid, Lymph nodes), Body Fluid Cytology
🔹 Cytogenetics: Karyotyping (for congenital anomalies, infertility), FISH (Leukemia, Lymphoma, Solid Tumours)
✅ No preparation for cytology tests like FNAC or pap smear
✅ For biopsy, your doctor will guide you regarding procedure preparation
✅ Safe, sterile sampling techniques used for all tests
✅ Resume normal activities after FNAC or pap smear; minor rest needed after biopsy
🅰️ To confirm disease diagnosis by studying tissue samples, especially in cancer and infections.
🅰️ Minimal discomfort with a fine needle prick, no major pain.
🅰️ To detect genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, and cancer-related mutations.
