[The cytology laboratory of the 2d Institute of Pathology and Anatomy in Brno (present status, perspectives, problems)].
The laboratory was engaged in exfoliative cytology, mainly of sputa and investigated 1450 hospitalized patients and 1410 smokers in a screening campaign during the last year. Another programme included cytology of bronchoscopical materials (2480 patients a year), fine needle aspiration cytology (550 patients), and peroperation cytology, mostly pulmonary and mammary (125 patients). A limited number of exfoliative and bronchoscopical materials could have been examined in correlation with the number of medical technologists for screening and preliminary evaluation. The laboratory shared immunochemical facilities and computerized registration of results with the others in the Institute. For future, the laboratory reckons with an increase of aspirations taken by visualization methods and with development of special technologies of material processing and evaluation.
