Service Providers for Sputum Cytology for Malignant Cells
Sputum Cytology for Malignant Cells is a test used to detect cancerous cells in the sputum (mucus) from the lungs or respiratory tract. The procedure involves collecting a sample of sputum, which is then examined under a microscope by a pathologist. The sample is stained to highlight any abnormal or malignant (cancerous) cells, often associated with lung cancer or other respiratory cancers. The test is useful in diagnosing lung cancer, particularly in patients with a persistent cough, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), or unexplained weight loss. Results are typically available within a few days, and a positive result may prompt further diagnostic testing or biopsy.
