This is the laboratory screening and interpretation of cells collected on a slide from a body site other than the cervix, such as sputum, urine, or a body cavity fluid, to look for abnormal or cancerous cells. A specialist examines the sample under a microscope and provides a written interpretation. It's a cell-based evaluation, similar in concept to a Pap smear but performed on a different type of specimen.
