Cytology is the study of the structure and the function of cells. Cytotechnologists are specially trained technologists who work with pathologists to evaluate cellular material from virtually all body sites primarily utilizing the microscope. Paramount to cytotechnologists is the microscopic recognition of normal and abnormal cytologic changes, including, but not limited to, malignant neoplasms, precancerous lesions, infectious agents, and inflammatory processes in gynecologic, non-gynecologic, and fine needle aspiration specimens. Cytotechnologists possess the technical skills for a wide variety of cytologic laboratory specimen preparations and a basic knowledge of contemporary procedures and technologies. Most cytotechnologists work in hospitals or in commercial laboratories. With experience, cytotechnologists may also work in private industry or in supervisory, research, and teaching capacities. Employment opportunities and salaries vary depending on geographic location, experience, and ability. Cytotech¬nologists then examine the slides microscopically, mark cellular changes that are most representative of a disease process, and submit to a pathologist for final evaluation. Using the findings of cytotechnologists, the pathologist is then able, in many instances, to diagnose cancer and other diseases long before they can be detected by other methods. In recent years, fine needles have been used to aspirate lesions, often deeply seated in the body, thus greatly enhancing the ability to diagnose tumors located in otherwise inaccessible sites.
