Clinicopathologic Importance of Women with Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cytology on Siriraj Liquid-Based Cervical Cytology

Clinicopathologic Importance of Women with SCC Cytology on Siriraj Liquid-Based Cervical Cytology

Cervical cytology is accepted worldwide for early detection of cervical neoplasia since the inception of the conventional Pap smear. The 2001 Bethesda Terminology System implemented the criteria for determining the squamous cell cytologic abnormalities as atypical squamous cells (ASC), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and squamo...

Efficacy of Manual Liquid Based Cytology over Conventional Cytology in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Context/Background: Oral cytology has come long way from its primitive Papanicolau days. Liquid Based cytology has shown significant advantages over conventional exfoliative cytology. However, LBC requires expensive automated devices and materials which might not be affordable for many cytopathological laboratories in countries with limited resources. Manual liquid Based Cytology (MLBC) is a te...

Liquid-based cytology in cervical screening

Histopathological correlation of squamous cell abnormalities detected on cervical cytology.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between cytology and cervical biopsy in patients with squamous cell abnormality on cervical cytology. MATERIAL AND METHOD The cervical smears diagnosed in our clinic between 2005-2008 were reviewed retrospectively. Cases which exhibited squamous cell abnormality (n: 374) were evaluated. RESULTS The mean age was 45.15±10.78. In the cytopathological re...

[Liquid-based cytology for esophageal carcinoma screening].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cytologic screening of asymptomatic high risk individuals can detect curable esophageal carcinomas and has been used for several decades. However, the sensitivity of such screening is relatively low, which limits its wide use and development. This study was to investigate the utility of liquid-based cytology in esophageal carcinoma screening. METHODS A mass screening ...
