Title: Comparative study on the liquid-based cytology and Pap smear cytology in the screening of cervical cancer
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and clinical value of liquid-based cytology(ThinPrep cytology test) in the screening of cervical cancer. Methods 652 cases with cervical erosion, irregular vaginal bleeding and/or cervical condyloma were tested by Pap smear and ThinPrep cytology and diagnosed with TBS standard. The positive results were compared with those of colposcopic biopsics. Results The detection rates by ThinPrep cytology and Pap smear were 100%,80% for SCC, 91.0%,71.8% for HSIL and 72.1%, 51.5% for LSIL. The detective rates in HSIL and above were 91.6% and 72.3%. Conclusions ThinPrep cytology test is more sensitive than Pap smear. Liquid-based cytology can improve the detection rate of LSIL in cervical screen, especially in early cervical carcinoma and HSIL.
