A Cytologist studies cells to diagnose diseases and conditions, often specialising in cancer detection. You might work in a laboratory or hospital setting, examining cell samples under a microscope and preparing detailed reports. Cytologists use advanced techniques to analyse cell morphology and detect abnormalities that indicate disease. You’ll work closely with pathologists and other medical professionals to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective patient care.
Cytologists play a critical role in the early detection and treatment of diseases. You’ll need to be meticulous and detail-oriented, with strong analytical skills. Effective communication with medical teams and patients is essential to provide clear insights and contribute to patient management and treatment planning.
