conclusions the high prevalence of hpv in abnormal cytology underlines to the fact that the presence of hpv is a critical factor in the development of cervical cancer. the use of hpv dna techniques could actually become an effective and fast means of ascertaining the presence of hpv in abnormal cytology. results result showed a 100% presence of high risk hpv in all the samples with abnormal cyt...

the 1991 bethesda system for cervical/vaginal cytology reporting has defined adequacy criteria, including unsatisfactory designation. most laboratories in usa and a few laboratories in iran have implemented these criteria, but only few studies about clinical implications have been performed. all unsatisfactory papanicolaou (pap) smears taken between august 2000 and march 2002 were retrieved fro...

Cervical cancer is a serious disease that threatens the health of women worldwide. This study compared the sensitivities and false-positive rates of cervical cytology (Pap smear), human papilloma virus (HPV) DNA test, cervicography, first double-combined testing (cervical cytology and HPV DNA test), second double-combined testing (cervical cytology and cervicography) and triple-combined testing...

With our understanding of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer, the availability of HPV testing, and the known limitations of cervical cytology, it is time to reassess cervical cancer screening technologies. This article reviews recent randomized trials comparing primary HPV testing with cervical cytology in screening for cervical cancer, and also analyzes the impact of the HPV vaccin...

Cervical cytology is a screening tool that helps to categorize patients for their risk of cervical neoplasm depending on the degree of shift from normal cervical cytology and the amount of the abnormal change seen. Since the cervix is subject to hormonal effects, the clinical context (exogenous estrogens, pregnancy, etc.) should be considered when evaluating cervical cytology specimens. The fir...
