Journal Article
Relationship between the diagnosis of epithelial abnormalities and the composition of cervical smears.
TL;DR: The significance of endocervical columnar cells as a high-quality parameter of cervical smears was studied in a cohort of women with two successive screenings and the relation between the cellular composition of the smears and the frequency of the diagnosis of abnormal epithelial changes was investigated.
Journal Article
Screening errors in cervical cytologic screening.
TL;DR: A total of 555 cervical smears, originally classified as Papanicolaou classes I and II, from women in whom three years later cytologic findings consistent with moderate dysplasia, severe dysPlasia, carcinoma in situ and invasive cancer were diagnosed were reviewed in order to estimate the screening error.
Journal Article
Cervical screening revisited.
TL;DR: It is concluded that a centrally organized and well supervised cervical screening program, cautiously executed and with all involved parties closely cooperating, can be a cost-effective means of combatting cervical cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Negative Cervical Smears Before CIN 3/Carcinoma
TL;DR: The PAPNET testing system is a good tool for detecting false negative smears and, when used as an adjunct to conventional screening, can reduce the false negative rate.
Journal Article
Cellular composition of cervical smears in relation to the day of the menstrual cycle and the method of contraception.
TL;DR: The cellular composition of cervical smears correlated significantly with the day of the menstrual cycle and the contraceptive method used and was particularly evident in IUD users.
