Summary
This document describes the role of a cytotechnologist, including their duties, the instruments used in the laboratory, and different types of Pap smear samples. It explains that cytotechnologists work with pathologists, detecting cell changes for early disease diagnosis, primarily through procedures like the Pap test. The document also covers necessary qualifications for cytotechnologists and the tools they use for analysis.

CYTOTECHNOLOGIST Presented by Group 2 CYTO A combining form that is used like a prefix meaning “cell” TECHNOLOGIST An expert in a particular field of technology. CYTOTECHNOLOGIST Laboratory personnel who works with the pathologist to detect changes in body cells that may be important in the early diagnosis of diseases. The field is best known for the Pap test, an evaluation of cells from the cervix. PHILIPPINES AMERICA To become a cytotechnologist, In order to become a you need a bachelor’s degree cytotechnologist, interested in cytotechnology, biology, or individuals must attend an the life sciences. Completing accredited certification or an accredited cytotechnology master's program in program and certification may cytotechnology. Educational also be required. programs are either university- based or hospital-based and involve 1 or 2 years of instruction. DUTIES OF A CYTOTECHNOLOGIST Alongside the pathologist Detect changes in human cells that indicate cancer, disease, or other abnormalities. Interpret cells collected from cytological techniques, such as a Pap test, as normal or abnormal Collaborate with a pathologist to provide a timely diagnosis to allow physicians to provide appropriate treatment CYTOLOGICAL INSTRUMENTS THAT ARE USED IN THE LABORATORY Cytotechnologists use microscopes to examine cell samples for abnormalities. Cytocentrifuge concentrate cells from Microscope Cytocentrifuge liquid specimens onto a microscope slide for staining and examination. Flow cytometry is used in cytotechnology to analyze the physical and chemical properties of cells in a sample. Flow Cytometry PAP SMEAR SAMPLE A procedure in which a small brush is used to gently remove cells from the surface of the cervix and the area around it so they can be checked under a microscope for cervical cancer or cell changes that may lead to cervical cancer. PAP SMEAR SAMPLE -The sample is typically collected during a routine gynecological exam. TYPES OF PAP SMEAR SAMPLES Conventional Pap Liquid-based Pap Smear - cells are Test - Cells are placed on a slide. collected in a liquid solution.
