Histopathology& Cytology
Expert tissue and cell analysis services for accurate diagnosis of cancer and other diseases using advanced staining techniques and microscopic examination.
About Histopathology & Cytology
Histopathology involves the microscopic examination of tissue samples to diagnose diseases, including various types of cancer. Our experienced pathologists use advanced staining techniques to identify cellular abnormalities and provide accurate diagnoses.
Cytology examines individual cells collected from brushings, scrapings, or fine needle aspirations. This technique is crucial for early detection of cancer and other conditions affecting individual cells.
We offer comprehensive services including immunohistochemistry (IHC), special stains, tumor grading and staging, and second opinion consultations to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our histopathology and cytology services.
Histopathology examines whole tissue samples under a microscope to diagnose diseases, especially cancer. Cytology studies individual cells from a sample (like Pap smears or FNAC). Histopathology provides more comprehensive information about tissue structure and disease progression.
Routine biopsy reports typically take 3-5 working days. Complex cases requiring special stains or second opinions may take 7-10 days. We prioritize urgent cases and provide expedited reporting when clinically indicated.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a specialized technique that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue samples. It helps identify cancer types, determine prognosis, and guide treatment decisions by showing how cells respond to certain markers.
Preparation depends on the biopsy type. For skin biopsies, minimal preparation is needed. For surgical biopsies, you may need to fast. Our staff will provide specific instructions when booking your appointment. Always inform your doctor about medications you're taking.
Yes, we provide second opinion consultations. You can request a review of your existing slides or blocks at our facility. Our experienced pathologists will provide a comprehensive evaluation and second opinion report.
FNAC is a minimally invasive procedure where a thin needle is used to extract cells from a lump or mass. It's commonly used for thyroid nodules, lymph nodes, and breast lumps. The procedure is quick, minimally painful, and provides rapid diagnostic information.
Tumor grading (based on how abnormal cells look) indicates how aggressive a cancer might be. Staging describes the tumor's size, spread to lymph nodes, and metastasis. Both are crucial for determining treatment options and prognosis.
