Liquid Based Cytology Cervical Cancer Screening Program—Georgian Experience

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate liquid based cytology as a tool for cervical cancer screening in Georgia. Materials and Methods: 1293 cervical cytology samples have been analyzed in Georgia. The samples had been collected and processed by the usage of materials and equipment provided by Hologic. Prepared smears were post-fixed in 96% ethanol and stained accordingly with Papanicolau proto...

Population-based cervical cancer screening using high-risk HPV DNA test and liquid-based cytology in northern Thailand.

BACKGROUND Northern Thailand is a region with a high cervical cancer incidence. Combined high-risk HPV (hrHPV) DNA testing and cytology (co-testing) has increasingly gained acceptance for cervical cancer screening. However, to our knowledge, data from a population-based screening using co-testing have not been available in this region. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the performance of c...

Liquid-based cytology: the new screening test for cervical cancer control.

Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care 2004: 30(2) Background to the UK Cervical Screening Programmes On 22 October 2003, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended to the National Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales that liquid-based cytology (LBC) should be introduced as the primary means of processing samples in the NHS Cervical Screening Program...

Conventional Pap Smear and Liquid Based Cytology for Cervical Cancer Screening – A Comparative Study

The study was undertaken to evaluate liquid based cytology (Pap spin) and to compare the sensitivity of Pap spin with conventional Pap smear. Pap smears were taken from 160 patients with gynaecologic complaints with Ayre’s spatula and endocervical cytobrush and slides prepared. The residual material on both the spatula and cytobrush were rinsed in Pap spin collection fluid and centrifuged. Dire...
