Prepare cytology like a clinical pathologist

We’ve all been there – your cytology report comes back with the dreaded “non-diagnostic” and you wonder “Where did I go wrong? Did I go wrong?”.

In many cases, submission of non-diagnostic cytology can be avoided through the use of correct collection methods, appropriate smear preparation techniques, and knowing how to identify a non-diagnostic smear.

Please join us as Dr Kelly du Preez discusses how to correctly prepare and submit your cytology so that you can get the very most out of every submission.
