Cytopathology
At Professional Pathology Services, our cytology laboratory is a full
service, free-standing lab with emphasis on women's health—speed,
accuracy, and up-to-the-minute technology are its trademarks. Timeliness
of diagnosis is of paramount importance, and the laboratory is able to
provide a less than 5-day turnaround time for PAP test results.
Through the Palmetto Health Hospitals, PPS, PC processes more Pap tests
and Non-GYN specimens annually than any other lab in the area. The
majority of these cervical cancer screening tests utilize the new thin layer
technology, Thin Prep, which provides enhanced detection of precancerous
lesions of the uterine cervix. The laboratory also offers testing for the Human
Papillomavirus. The Non-Gyn practice of the cytology laboratory offers many
features and has a strong expertise in processing fine needle aspirations.
The laboratory is fully accredited by the College of American Pathologists and
employs seven ASCP-certified cytotechnologists—all of whom have senior level
status—and seven fellowship-trained, board certified cytopathologists.
