Cytopathology questions

Cytopathology tests are used to examine single cells or small clusters of cells and to assess whether they are normal or show signs of disease.
A report from a cytopathology test describes findings that help determine whether or not the examined cells have characteristics of illnesses, like infection, inflammation, or cancer.

Cytology is the study of cells.
When cytopathology is used to look at cells for signs of disease, it falls under the umbrella of pathology.
Pathology is a field of medicine that studies diseases.
Lab tests, like cytology smears, can be a tool that pathologists use when researching a disease.

While cytopathology relates to abnormalities found within—or expressed by—individual cells, histopathology extends the analysis so that pathologists can see abnormalities related to attachments between cells, and explore whether the cell appears normal given its location within the tissue.
