Cytology Services in Kurukshetra — Cell-Level Diagnosis by a Specialist Pathologist

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.

Cytology Services Available

Specialist cell examination for early diagnosis.

🎯
FNAC — Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology

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.

🌸
PAP Smear — Cervical Cytology

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.

🫁
Sputum Cytology

Examination of sputum for cancer cells and infectious organisms. Used in the investigation of persistent cough, haemoptysis, or suspected lung cancer.

💧
Fluid Cytology

Pleural fluid (around the lung), ascitic fluid (in the abdomen), and other body cavity fluids examined for malignant cells, infection, and other abnormalities.

🧪
Urine Cytology

Examination of urine for bladder cancer cells — used in the investigation of blood in urine or monitoring of patients with known bladder cancer.

PAP Smear

A Special Note on the PAP Smear

📊
What the PAP smear detects

Abnormal cervical cells (dysplasia) — caused by HPV infection — before they progress to invasive cervical cancer. At this precancerous stage, treatment is simple and curative.

When to have one

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.

🛡️
Why it saves lives

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.

🏥
What to expect

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.

FAQs

Cytology — Common Questions

Is FNAC painful?
+
FNAC uses a very fine needle — similar to a blood test needle. The area may be numbed with a local anaesthetic spray or injection first. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, which takes a few minutes. No stitches, no hospitalisation, no recovery time needed.
How long do cytology results take?
+
FNAC results are typically available within 24–48 hours. PAP smear results within 48–72 hours. Fluid cytology 24–48 hours. We will confirm the timeline when you book.
I have a lump — do I need FNAC or biopsy?
+
FNAC is usually the first step — it gives a preliminary diagnosis without surgery. Depending on the FNAC result, a formal biopsy may or may not be recommended. Dr. Raashi Sobti's FNAC report will guide your treating doctor on whether further investigation is needed.
The PAP smear came back abnormal. What does that mean?
+
An abnormal PAP smear does not mean cancer — it means some cells look different from normal. The report will classify the abnormality (mild, moderate, severe dysplasia) and recommend next steps. Many abnormal results are due to inflammation and resolve on their own or with simple treatment. Your doctor will advise based on the specific report.
