ANATOMIA PATOLOGICA - channel 4

At the end of the course the student will have to know the main types of diagnostic cytopathology exams, be able to set up and color the cytological preparations, know the basic principles of reactive and neoplastic cellular pathology; it must also be able to apply the general concepts of cytopathology to the main types of cytological samples.
