This journal focuses on the cytopathological assessment of various human tissues and bodily fluids for the diagnosis and characterization of diseases, particularly cancer. It covers the application of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), liquid-based cytology (LBC), and other cytological techniques for evaluating lesions in organs such as the cervix, lungs, pancreas, thyroid, salivary glands, urinary bladder, and breast. The journal also explores advancements in reporting systems, the use of ancillary tests like immunohistochemistry and molecular profiling, and the integration of computational tools and liquid biopsy in cytopathology.
