Molecular cytopathology (MCP) integrates molecular studies into cytology, enhancing diagnosis and research across various specimen types. This review highlights key applications of these innovative molecular techniques in cytopathology.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology and Laboratory Medicine
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cytopathology

Background:

  • Pathology laboratories have adopted new molecular techniques in the past decade.
  • Cytology has significantly benefited from these molecular innovations.
  • Molecular cytopathology (MCP) applies molecular studies to diverse cytological specimens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application of molecular techniques in various fields of cytopathology.
  • To discuss the clinical applications and growing importance of these techniques.
  • To highlight how molecular studies optimize diagnosis and research in cytopathology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published results on molecular techniques in cytopathology.
  • Analysis of applications in gynaecology cytology, exfoliative non-gynaecology cytology, and fine needle aspirates.

  • Discussion of ancillary molecular techniques and liquid-based systems.

    • Main Results:

    • Molecular techniques are increasingly used for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic target assessment in cytopathology.
    • Liquid-based systems in gynaecological cytology demonstrate the cell-molecule relationship.
    • Combined morphology and molecular biology optimize diagnosis and research, e.g., in human papillomavirus-induced lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular cytopathology represents a major advancement in diagnostic pathology.
