Cytology is the microscopic examination of individual cells to identify normal, precancerous, or cancerous changes. It is one of the most important tools in early cancer detection — and requires specialist expertise to perform and interpret. Dr. Raashi Sobti personally examines all cytology specimens.
Specialist cell examination for early diagnosis.
A very fine needle collects cells from a lump or swelling — thyroid, lymph node, breast, salivary gland, or soft tissue. Provides a preliminary diagnosis within 24–48 hours without open biopsy or general anaesthesia. Dr. Raashi Sobti performs and interprets all FNACs personally.
The most important cancer screening test available to women. Detects precancerous cervical changes (CIN) before they develop into cancer — at a stage where they are completely treatable. Recommended every 3 years from age 21 for all sexually active women.
Examination of sputum for cancer cells and infectious organisms. Used in the investigation of persistent cough, haemoptysis, or suspected lung cancer.
Pleural fluid (around the lung), ascitic fluid (in the abdomen), and other body cavity fluids examined for malignant cells, infection, and other abnormalities.
Examination of urine for bladder cancer cells — used in the investigation of blood in urine or monitoring of patients with known bladder cancer.
Abnormal cervical cells (dysplasia) — caused by HPV infection — before they progress to invasive cervical cancer. At this precancerous stage, treatment is simple and curative.
Every 3 years from age 21 (or from when you become sexually active). Every 5 years if combined with HPV testing. Even if you have no symptoms.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in Indian women — and one of the most preventable. Regular PAP smears have dramatically reduced cervical cancer deaths in countries with high screening uptake.
A quick, painless sample collected by a clinician. Results within 48–72 hours. Dr. Raashi Sobti personally examines every specimen.
If you have never had a PAP smear — or it has been more than 3 years — please book one today. It takes minutes and can detect changes that, if left undetected, may take years to become cancer. Call 98176-33316.
