Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) Services at Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre
Welcome to Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) Services. At Dr. Lal Hospital, we understand the importance of early and accurate detection of cervical cancer and other gynecological conditions. Our specialized Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) Services offer a state-of-the-art approach to cervical screening, providing patients with reliable results and peace of mind.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
- Improved Sample Quality: LBC reduces the presence of blood, mucus, and other contaminants in the cervical sample, resulting in cleaner and more representative cell samples for analysis.
- Increased Sensitivity: LBC enhances the sensitivity of cervical screening by allowing for a more thorough examination of cervical cells under the microscope, reducing the likelihood of false-negative results.
- Reduced Need for Repeat Testing: With LBC, there is a lower rate of unsatisfactory or inadequate samples, minimizing the need for repeat testing and ensuring timely and accurate diagnosis.
- Enhanced Detection of Abnormal Cells: LBC facilitates the detection of abnormal cervical cells, including precancerous lesions and early-stage cervical cancer, enabling prompt intervention and treatment to prevent disease progression.
- Patient Convenience: LBC offers greater convenience for patients and healthcare providers, as the liquid-based sample can be easily processed and stored for future testing or additional analysis if needed.
Precision Treatment Options
At Dr. Lal Hospital, Precision treatment options may not directly apply to LBC itself, as LBC is primarily a diagnostic method for detecting cervical abnormalities, including precancerous or cancerous lesions.
- Colposcopy and Biopsy: If abnormal cells are detected on LBC, further evaluation with colposcopy (visual examination of the cervix) and biopsy (tissue sampling) may be recommended.
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP): LEEP is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove abnormal cervical tissue identified during colposcopy. It involves using a thin wire loop and electric current to excise the affected tissue, preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
- Laser Therapy: Laser therapy may be used to treat precancerous or cancerous lesions on the cervix.
- Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy: For more advanced cervical cancer cases, precision treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of both.
