Diagnostic
Cytopathology involves the interpretation of cells that spontaneously exfoliate
or are removed from tissues by abrasion or fine needle aspiration, such
as specimens from the cervix (Pap tests), breast, thyroid, lymph node,
liver, etc. The Division of Cytopathology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital
actively participates in all aspects of diagnostic cytopathology as well
as cytopathology research and training programs.
