[Comparison of conventional PAP smear with liquid based cytology method (LBC)]
Aim:
Our aim was to summarize our and foreign experience in screening of cervical cancer, using conventional PAP smear and liquid-based cytology-LBC.
Material And Methods:
In the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Medical university of Varna, Bulgaria we made clinical trial on 100 patients, that has the goal of comparing the results of liquid -based cytology with conventional PAP smear in different criteria.
Results:
There are significant advantages of LBC mainly due to the lower number of unsatisfactory results and higher specificity for LSIL. Compared to foreign results our results are showing the same tendencies and values.
Conclusions:
Our and foreign authors results for the benefits of LBC are undisputable, although this method is still rarely used in our country.
