Individual states regulate the licensure of cytotechnologists, usually following American Society of Cytopathology (ASC) guidelines. [8] Other countries have their own versions of the ASCT, including the British Association of Cytopathology (BAC) in the UK [9] and the European Federation of Cytology Societies (EFCS) in the EU.
