[Value of suspicious and doubtful cytological findings in gynecologic serial examinations]

Cytological follow-up and histological results of 2336 patients with Pap III and 10584 with Pap II control of 1973 and 1974 were checked up to May 1976 and compared with new literature. 50% of Pap III became to negatives, 10% of Pap III and 0,82% of Pap II control became positive (Pap IV and Pap V). Up to now histological findings has been resulted in 10% invasive cancers; in 53% carcinomata in situ and severe dysplasia, in 16% moderate and mild dysplasias, and in 5% normal epithelium from repeated Pap III. To avoid to many conizations we have introduced Pap IIID for moderate and mild dysplasia into screening cytology.
