The results of colposcopy and directed biopsies were compared with the cytological findings and cervicography in 1539 asymptomatic outpatients undergoing routine cervical cancer screening in order to compare the accuracy of cervicography and cytology and to assess the potential benefits of the combination of both screening tests. With the new reporting criteria, cervicography looked less sensitive...
The reliability of cytology, colposcopy, and directed biopsy were assessed in pregnancy and compared with that observed in a matched non-pregnant control group in order to evaluate the influence of pregnancy. One hundred and seventeen gravidas in which the final pathology could be ascertained and 234 control patients were examined by the same colposcopist. Concordance between cytology and final diagnosis...
The objective of this paper is a valuation of colposcopy as a screening tool. As database, 392 patients with histologically confirmed intraepithelial neoplasia were used. Colposcopic and cytologic findings were compared with the final histologic diagnosis. The following results were obtained: (1) The colposcopic findings correlated with the histologic diagnosis to a significantly higher degree than...
Detection of high risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) has a high potential value for secondary prevention of cervical cancer. HPV testing can augment the sensistivity of conventional cytologic screening and can be used for triaging patients with a history of mild cytological abnormalities or low grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Before screening for high risk HPVs can be generally recommeended,...
