چکیده

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of the addition of speculoscopy to a Pap smear in cervical cancer screening. METHODS All women were screened using the Pap smear plus speculoscopy (PapSure) and colposcopy in the multicenter trial. The final diagnosis of each patient was based on a histological evaluation of the colposcopic target biopsy. Results were analyzed using a proportional compare test, sensitivity, specificity and predictive value with significant value determined at less than 0.05. RESULTS Of 1,717 eligible cases, 26 cases had LGSIL and 16 cases had HGSIL. Of the Pap smears, five cases had LSIL and 14 cases had HGSIL. Of the combination of the PapSure, 23 cases had LGSIL and 16 cases had HGSIL. The sensitivity of the Pap smear to that of PapSure was calculated at 45.2% and 92.9%, respectively (p < 0.001). The estimated cost to detect a cervical lesion using PapSure is less than that of the Pap smear. CONCLUSION The addition of speculoscopy along with a Pap smear screening results in early detection of cervical lesions in comparison to the Pap smear alone. This screening combination is also more cost-effective and requires fewer visits to the clinic in comparison to a Pap smear screening alone.

The evaluation of cervical cancer screening by combining speculoscopy with Papanicolaou smear examination in Taiwan.

BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is the most common malignancy in women in Taiwan. In order to improve the detection of cervical lesions using the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear in screening, a number of adjunctive tests have been developed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of a magnified chemiluminescent screening examination (speculoscopy) combined with the Pap smear (PapSure) in dete...

Clinicopathologic Importance of Women with SCC Cytology on Siriraj Liquid-Based Cervical Cytology

Cervical cytology is accepted worldwide for early detection of cervical neoplasia since the inception of the conventional Pap smear. The 2001 Bethesda Terminology System implemented the criteria for determining the squamous cell cytologic abnormalities as atypical squamous cells (ASC), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and squamo...

OBJECTIVE To estimate costs and outcomes of conventional annual Papanicolaou (Pap) test screening compared with biennial Pap test plus speculoscopy (PPS) screening for cervical neoplasms. DESIGN A Markov model compared cost-effectiveness and outcomes of annual Pap tests with biennial PPS. The model includes direct costs of screening, diagnostic testing, and treatment for squamous intraepithei...

Correlation of PAP smear findings with clinical findings and cervical biopsy.

OBJECTIVES Carcinoma of the cervix is the most common cause of the death in Nepal. Cervical carcinoma does not develop suddenly from normal epithelium but is presented by a spectrum of intraepithelial neoplastic changes that are precancerous lesion and were termed as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Cervical cytological screening is designed to detect over 90% of cytological abnormalit...
