Cytopathology in India: Past, Present, and Future.
Cytopathology was apparent as a feasible and inexpensive screening and diagnostic technique incorporated in India during the 1950s and 1960s. The Indian Academy of Cytologists (IAC) was established to foster cytology research, standardize nomenclature, and advance cytology across India. Although cytopathology is a fundamental component of the postgraduate pathology curriculum, numerous challenges and limitations impede its practice in India, including a shortage of trained cytopathologists, uneven distribution of cytopathology services and their quality assurance, and financial constraints for advanced diagnostics in cytopathology samples. These obstacles hinder the efficient execution of cytopathology activities in India. This review outlines the historical evolution, expansion, institutional and academic advancements, cytology-based screening programs and guidelines, quality assurance, research output, and contemporary developments in cytopathology reporting, as well as the challenges and limitations encountered by cytopathology practice in India. The review argues for intentional initiatives to augment the capability of cytopathology in remote and rural regions of India, facilitating early and improved cancer detection and patient outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Diagnostic Cytopathology is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information in the field of cytopathology, with special emphasis on the practical, clinical aspects of the discipline. The editors invite original scientific articles, as well as special review articles, feature articles, and letters to the editor, from laboratory professionals engaged in the practice of cytopathology. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the basis of scientific merit, practical significance, and suitability for publication in a journal dedicated to this discipline. Original articles can be considered only with the understanding that they have never been published before and that they have not been submitted for simultaneous review to another publication.
