What does Fluid for malignant cells - INLAB measure?
This cytology test examines body fluid for malignant (cancerous) cells. It may be ordered when fluid has collected around organs or in body cavities and there is a clinical need to evaluate whether abnormal cells are present. The findings may help healthcare professionals investigate suspected cancer involvement, monitor known disease, or guide further diagnostic evaluation. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, imaging findings, and other laboratory tests.
