Summary

The SurePath liquid-based preparation method is a valid and effective alternative to conventional cytology for endocervical brush specimens. This method accurately detects cervical intraepithelial lesions and cancer during colposcopy.

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Cytopathology
Cervical Cancer Screening

Background:

Conventional cytology methods for endocervical canal evaluation during colposcopy can be time-consuming.
There is a need for reliable alternative methods for cervical cytology preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the SurePath liquid-based preparation method as a substitute for conventional cytology.
To assess its validity for examining endocervical brush specimens during colposcopy.

Main Methods:

Paired SurePath liquid-based slides and conventional smears were prepared from endocervical brush specimens.
A split-sample protocol was used before biopsy during colposcopy.
Agreement, accuracy, and operating characteristics were assessed against histologic follow-up.

Published on: May 23, 2014

Main Results:

Excellent agreement was observed between SurePath and conventional smear cytology (kappa = 0.924).
Exact agreement in interpretation was achieved in 94.6% of cases.
SurePath and conventional smears agreed with histology in 47.8% and 49.2% of cases, respectively.

Conclusions:

The SurePath method is equivalent to conventional endocervical brush cytology.
It performs effectively in detecting cervical intraepithelial lesions and cancer.
SurePath is an acceptable substitute for conventional endocervical evaluation during colposcopy.
