Since its introduction, many laboratories have started to apply LBC to exfoliative and aspiration nongynecological cytology, aiming to exploit the same advantages on different samples. In fact, LBC is well suited to meet the requirements of ancillary techniques and their routine application in pathology laboratories, with specific reference to procedure standardization, purification and storage...

Cancer of the corpus uteri remains the most common gynecological related cancer in developed countries. Cytology, after the induction of liquid based cytology, has reemerged as a possible first line non-interventional diagnostic procedure with promising results. Apart from slide preparation for cytology diagnosis, LBC allows the application of elaborate molecular tests on the residual material....

in a highly coherent fashion, providing significant novel information on different aspects of gynecological cytology in the era of molecular testing. Lorincz [1] elegantly describes the merits and flaws of DNA methylation tests in clinical cytology and their usefulness in cervical cancer prevention, diagnosis and prognostic evaluation. The biological significance of the genomic diversity of cer...

The presence of endometrial cells is considered an alarming finding in the gynecological smears of women in the second half of the menstrual cycle or women aged ≥ 45 years. In the case of postmenopausal women, the presence of atypical endometrial cells may represent endometrial abnormality and requires careful evaluation.
