[Our experience in using liquid based cytology in cervical screening (LBC)]
Aim:
Our aim is to summarize our experience in screening for cervical cancer using liquid-based cytology system and the Bethesda system.
Material And Methods:
We did a clinical study of 92 patients, aimed to summarize the results of liquid-based cytology based on various criteria such as specificity, sensitivity, positive and false negative results. All patients had conventional Pap smear as well.
Results:
The better results stand out of the LBC, mainly due to the reduced number of unsatisfactory results and higher specificity and sensitivity for low-grade lesions--LSIL. There is better standardization of samples, because of the automation of the process. The method is much better quality and more economical.
Conclusion:
The results obtained by us confirm the diagnostic quality and efficiency of the method, so we offer routine use in Bulgaria, as it is in some developed countries.
