Title: Comparison of three methods in early screening cervical cancer and their significance
Abstract: Objective To explore the best program of the early screening of the cervical cancer.Methods One thousand six hundred and ninety-two patients were screened for cervical carcinoma with traditional cervical cells smears,colposcopy and cytologic test.Cell diagnosis adopted TBS-group system thinprep.All the examinations above ASCUS pathological changes were examined with colposcope.Biopsy was a golden standard.Results The sensitivity,specificity, efficiency,Youden's index and kappa of each diagnostic test listed respectively as follows, traditional cervical cells smears(20.50%,60.00%,55.60%,0.0780,0.0270),colposcopy(33.33%,91.49%,88.00%,0.2482,0.1892),and thinprep Pap(66.67%,97.87%,96.00%,0.8227,0.6454).Conclusion The diagnostic value of traditional cervical cell smears is very low.Thinprep cytology is suitable for the early screening test of cervical cancer.The combining use of TCT,orientational examination under colposcope and pathological examination can improve the accuracy of identifying cervical lesion.
