Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the screening performance of a new modified liquid-based cytology method (Liquiprep™) with conventional PAP smear (CP) in a low risk population, using colposcopy followed by histology as “gold standard”. Patients and Methods:  This cross-sectional study was performed on random referred specimens to a general gynecological clinic...

OBJECTIVE A modified liquid-based techniques known as the "LiquiPrep (LP) system" requires neither expensive equipment nor complicated specimen preparation. The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of the LP for use in a developing country. METHODS Cervical cytology specimens were collected from 777 women, using the Cervex-Brush. The brush was first smeared on a glass side for co...

OBJECTIVES Telomerase is activated in various stages of oncogenesis. For cervical cancer, telomerase is already active in precancerous lesions. In our study we focused on the analysis of the amplification patterns of telomerase genes TERT and TERC. DESIGN AND SETTING We included 39 patients in our study between January 2012 and April 2013. Each patient underwent a classical gynaecological exa...
