title: [Topical problems in the organization of cytological studies in departments of pathology (the experience of a cytological center as part of the Leningrad Regional Department of Pathology)].
abstract: Cytological studies of biopsy specimens in the Center of Cytology are one of the promising lines in the activity of the Leningrad Regional Department of Pathology. For the time being, there is no standard for cytological activities. This fact adversely affects the training system of laboratory physicians and assistants, the organization of their work in health care facilities, and the testing quality system. Cytological studies are a promising method in the morphological evaluation of biopsy specimens and surgical material and they should be considered as a morphological method in morbid anatomy.
