Gender Inclusion in the Cytopathology Laboratory: Review of Current Practice and Call to Action
The cytopathology laboratory has an important role in providing care that is inclusive and accurate for all patients. Gaps in care exist and further work is needed to address these disparities. This review attempts to increase awareness, educate, and share our own multi-institutional experiences, and calls for improvements in cytopathology to optimize quality in gender-inclusive patient care.
