Patient is made to lie down comfortably. Procedure is explained and patient’s fears are allayed. Then using a very fine needle, aspiration is carried out. After taking precautions and making sure that there is no oozing from the needle puncture site, patient is asked to wait in comfortable pleasant environment for 10 minutes till the skilled technical team does the preliminary procedures to find out adequacy of material aspirated. Patient is called next day to collect the report. At the time of handing over the report, patient is counselled by the doctors about the results and treatment to be pursued. Most of the times, patients leave the lab with smiles on that faces.  




b) Pap smear:-

Pap smear is a screening procedure for detection of premalignant and malignant lesions of uterine cervix. Pap smear can be done using conventional method or liquid based cytology.

a. Conventional Pap Smear: Scrapings from the uterine cervix are transferred on the glass slides which are then dipped in appropriate fixative solution and received in our laboratory. These smears are then treated with series of stains of different colours. Prepared slides are then examined by team of pathologists at PCS and report is handed over to the patient or delivered at referring doctor’s clinic next day.

b. Liquid Based Gynae Cytology (LBC): Liquid based gynae cytology is a new technique with many advantages over conventional pap smear.  PCS was the first laboratory  in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-NCR to adopt this refined novel technology. In liquid based gynae cytology, material scarped from the uterine cervix with the help of cytobrush is put in a special solution and transported is our laboratory. Material is then processed through highly complicated procedures and smears are prepared for study by pathologists.


Advantages of LBC over conventional pap smear are many:

a. Better cellular Material

b. Less time taken for study

c. Less chances of missing abnormal cells

d. Accuracy of the reports is enhanced

e. HPV-DNA testing can be done on the same sample

f. More advanced tests like Immunohistochemistry can be carried out on the same sample. 


c) Effusions: Fluid collections in chest cavity and abdominal cavity are called effusions and their examination is carried to determine cause of fluid collection. Fluid received in the laboratory undergoes many tests and finally slides prepared from the fluid are examined by the pathologists. Correct diagnosis of infection or tuberculosis or cancer is extremely important for management of cases.

d) Lavage Fluids: While in effusions, fluid collects on its own, in lavage, fluid is inserted in tubular structures of the body like bronchial free of the lung and gastrointestinal tract. Then fluid is sucked back and collected for examination. Like effusion, many complicated tests along with cytology are carried out to find out the underlying disease.

e) Scrapings: Unlike effusions, in scraping the mucosal surface of mouth or tumour surfaces are scraped using blunt spatula and scarped cells are transferred on the slides. This test is carried to find out the cause of ulcer or white patch generally in the oral cavity. Scrapping examination and reporting all are done under one roof. Many times, special staining is also carried to detect causative organisms like bacteria, fungus and others.

f) TB PCR for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis is remnant in our country and ironically no single test is available to make the diagnosis. Many tests being done currently give erroneous result. PCR is one test which is reliable and is carried out on tissues and fluids and is done in our laboratory.

g) Facility of Home Pick up the Samples and Delivery of Reports: Since many specialized investigations are carried out in PCS, patients have the options of utilizing home pick up facility provided by the PCS. Due to availability of this facility, many patients particularly aged, weak, sick or bedridden  patients do not have to travel to the lab to give the sample or collect the report.
