Cellular pathology studies body organs and tissues to determine the cause of certain diseases and their effects. A sample of tissue cells are taken from the patient and sent to the laboratory in order to give a diagnosis and give the most appropriate advice and treatment to patients. Cell pathology helps to assist with the choice of treatment that will be given, and giving prognosis and determining causes of death.
There are two main parts within cellular pathology. The first is histopathology, which involves the examination tissues under the microscope, and cytopathology (cytology), which involves the examination of single cells. A common cytology test is the cervical smear.
