Last week was a landmark for cytologists in Ukraine, as the II Congress of the Association of Cytopathologists of Ukraine was held at the National Cancer Institute with the support of the National Cancer Institute. This event has become an important platform for the exchange of experience and knowledge between domestic and foreign specialists.
The CSD LAB cytology team also took an active part in the congress. Our colleagues presented three relevant reports that aroused the interest of the audience.
Valentyna Karpachova, a biologist and cytologist of the highest qualification category, shared the results of using an innovative methodology for examining uterine cavity aspirates. This technique allows to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of cervical and endometrial diseases.
Tetiana Yaroshchuk, a laboratory cytologist of the highest category, pathologist, presented a report on the Papanicolaou classification for cytology of the pancreatic-biliary system, which is important for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and other digestive diseases.
Pavlina Botsun, Head of the CSD LAB Cytomorphology Laboratory, spoke about new trends in cervical screening as part of the WHO’s global strategy to eliminate cervical cancer. These trends are aimed at increasing the effectiveness of screening and reducing mortality from this disease.
