Le ncwadi inikeza izindlela zokuxilonga ezinengqondo ezindaweni ezivamile ze-cytopathology, njenge-thyroid, i-lymph node kanye ne-effusion cytology. Ixoxa ngokuxilonga okuhlukene kwesayithi ngalinye, futhi ichaza indlela ehlelekile yokunciphisa ukuxilonga okuhlukile ngendlela enengqondo esekelwe ku-cytomorphology kanye nokusetshenziswa okuhlakaniphile kokuhlola okuhambisanayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, yethula amaphaneli abandlululayo okuhlolwa kwe-immunohistochemical, ngokugcizelela ezindleleni ezigxile esigulini ezinobudlelwano obusebenzayo be-clinicopathologic. Ngaphezu kwalokho, inikeza izincomo ezisebenzayo zokuthuthukisa ukulinganisa kwezicubu ukuze kuhlolwe okuhambisanayo, ngokokubili ukuhlolwa kokuxilonga nokuhlobene nokwelashwa. Leli bhuku liphinde lihlanganise nemibiko yokuxilonga eyisampula ukuze lisize abafundi bakhe amazwana afanelekile kanye nokusiza odokotela ezimeni ezithile zomtholampilo, kanye nezimo zokuhlola ukuze abafundi basebenzise ama-algorithms abo okuxilonga kanye ne-specimen triage.

Le ncwadi ihlomisa abafundi ukuthi basebenzise izindlela ezinengqondo ekubikeni kwe-cytopathology ezwakalayo emisebenzini yomtholampilo yansuku zonke, ibaqondise ekuqoqweni kwesampula kanye nokuthatha ukuhlolwa kokuxilonga okusekelwe kuzici ze-morphologic kanye nezici zomtholampilo, nokubhala imibiko ye-cytology yokuxilonga enengqondo futhi ewusizo emtholampilo ngokugxila ekuxhumaneni kwe-clinicopathologic. Ngakho-ke kufanelekile kwabaqeqeshwayo be-cytopathology kanye ne-pathology kanye nama-cytologists (ama-cytotechnologists) nabanye odokotela ababandakanyeka ezinqubweni zokuxilonga i-cytopathology.
