Objective
Learning outcomes
As a student you recognise the significance of cytological tests in the diagnostics of diseases and in the treatment of patients. You identify different cell types based on cytological cell morphology and can distinguish between normal and atypical cells in key sample types according to the criteria of malignancy. You are able to justify the significance of clinical cytology tests in treating patients, diagnosing diseases and monitoring treatment. You are familiar with certain cytological tests and their indications, know how to perform these tests and are able to explain the role of different working phases as part of high-quality treatment.
