The Korean Society for Cytopathology
The Korean Society for Cytopathology (KSC) was founded in 1986 by members of KSC in recognition of the importance of cytopathology, and has played a major role in the establishment and development of non-invasive or minimally invasive diagnostic methods in various types of cancer. Our society focuses on educational and training programs for pathologists and cytotechnologists, and we emphasize communication with cytopathology specialists all over the world.
The KSC members consist of pathologists who diagnoses cytopathology, and cytotechnologists who are also qualified members of the Korean Association of Cytotechnologists.
We have a group of executives, and a “supervisory council” that is in charge of education and guidance on cytopathology for the pathologists and cytotechnologists.

The Korean Association of Cytotechnologists

The KAC was formally established in June, 1983, initially with 19 members, and joined the KSC in November, 1996. Now with 720 active members, the KAC has become a significant member of the IAC.
The KAC has been sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare as a part of the National Cancer Control Programs since 2002, and has continued to contribute to improvement in national healthcare through the Cancer Eradication Project.
