The field was pioneered by (often called the "Father of Modern Cytopathology") in 1928. He developed the Papanicolaou (Pap) stain , which remains the gold standard for visualizing cellular detail today. While the discipline began with cancer screening, it has evolved to cover infectious organisms and fetal abnormalities.

Cytopathology is the study of to diagnose disease. Unlike histopathology, which examines entire tissue structures, cytopathology focuses on individual cells or small clusters. This approach allows for:
