Abstract: Objective:To discuss quality control method of Thinprep cytologic test(TCT). Methods: The process of quality control method including drawing materials,smear,dye was analyzed in 18500 cases.The positive diagnosis was screened including cervical carcinoma,high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.The results were compared with HPV DNA detection and biopsies. Results: 98.8%(18287/18500) samples were screened excellently by TCT.TCT were able to detect 100%(18/18)of squamous cell carcinoma,97%(30/31)CIN ⅡI frade and 90%(42/46)CIN Ⅱgrade.
