Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a specialist diagnostic radiologist, I recognize the critical role fluid cytology plays in early detection of malignancy and infection. However, results must always be interpreted alongside your full clinical history and imaging findings. Please continue your prescribed care and never adjust treatment based solely on a laboratory report.”
